The 4221HD was not the best antenna for you. It is a UHF only design.

WYES is on VHF channel 11
WBRZ is on VHF channel 13
WAFB is on VHF channel 9

With the antenna aimed north, were you trying to get distant stations with it?

Your choices now are to start over with a VHF/UHF antenna, add a VHF antenna to the UHF only antenna, re-aim the UHF antenna and hope for the best with WYES, or install two VHF/UHF antennas, one for the local stations and another for the distant stations.
