The 'classic' Antennas Direct DB8 is an excellent UHF antenna. It's a top contender for reception of real channels 14 and up. Your existing reception results confirm that.

I would add a second antenna, an Antennacraft Y10713 pointed toward Cincinnati. Consider replacing the AP-8275 with an RCA TVPRAMP1R preamp which has separate inputs for the existing UHF antenna and the new High-VHF antenna. The RCA preamp will also be less prone to overloading, though that may not be a critical factor in your situation... most of the signal are not strong enough to cause overloading.
