Odds are fair that a C5, by itself, might work okay. The spread of the two VHF channels is such that the gain of the antenna is already going to be negative, but, since the signals are strong, it *might* work out.
Of course, the issue might be cause by the combination of the leaves dropping (reducing natural attenuation) causing a situation where the already strong local signals, once amplified, might be too much for the tuner to handle.
Until the OP returns and provides some information, all we can do is speculate.
