OTA help

We moved into the rural Ozarks and decided to stay OTA. A dish was our only option and we just didn't want to go back to that. We are on a lake about 120 vertical feet above the surface. We have lots of trees and hills, but to the North they are further away.

I built an antenna, 10 pairs of 7 inch whiskers with the tips about 3 inches apart. We currently receive broadcast channels (real channel) #10 (10), 27 (28), 33 (19) and occasionally channel 51 (50).

Two close neighbors are using the much advertised lava type antennas and are getting several additional channels. Broadcast numbrrs 8, 21, 3, 49 and maybe a couple of others.

Channel 10, CBS is our favorite so we are relatively happy, but I like to tinker and would like to get 51 on a regular basis. Any equipment suggestions?

The home brew antenna photo is facing generally North.

thanks
