Interesting question. There a number of possibilities, none of which I can guarantee, because I don't even know what your location looks like from the ground or in a satellite view.

I would probably consider a two-antenna solution, one for UHF and one for VHF-High. The UHF antenna would be an HDB91X because it has a narrow beamwidth to help reject KNIC when it is aimed at San Antonio and has a tilt feature that would allow you to tilt the front end of the antenna up. The upward tilt might help capture the signals coming down from the peak of the hill that is just before your location.

The VHF antenna would be a Stellar Labs 30-2475

Code:


 HDB91X  
     \               Juice         Grounding
     UVSJ > NF-469 > Preamp > coax > Block > coax > Power > TV
     /      Filter                                 Inserter
30-2475
