What you want is all from Mt. Wilson, for sure. However, the tower sites are not exactly in the same place up there. With the complex terrain, just a little difference in location can make a big difference in path obstructions. Check out the path profiles for the stations you are after (especially KSCI) and you can see what I mean. You'll also see why you want to aim the antenna up a little.

I'm pleasantly surprised by your current results. However, there's no need to fool around with mid-sized antennas to get what you want. Go for the XG.
