Ok, I have my DB8e set up on a short mast inside my enclosed porch, with one element facing southwest and the other facing northwest. I got 31 channels from my first scan, and am receiving all the Boston area channels. Not bad for 8' off the ground and indoors.

Life has interfered with the rest of the installation. And I think I should point up a few spots on the chimney before I block access with the antenna.

I have another question - what about radio? I have quite a few vintage tuners, and I really enjoyed AM DXing from my long wire as a child. Is a high VHF antenna going to work well for FM? Would it be better to install a different antenna from the Y5-7-13 to add FM coverage? Or simply add a radio antenna?
