I am wondering if the connection between the UHF and VHF elements on the antenna is the issue - see pic.

Yes, it could be the issue if either of the wires from the UHF section touch any metal parts of the antenna on their way to the CB-8269.

OK. So if I test with the clips and one part of the antenna is bad, then I guess I need a new antenna?

Maybe not, if you can fix it. Also, your antenna could be OK and the UHF signals might be bad.

Can you recommend a balun w/ clips like the one in the video?

I used to recommend the Channel Master 94444, but they redesigned it but kept the same model number.

The WINEGARD TV-2900 gets good reviews.
Add two alligator clips that have screws.
