Try an Antennas Direct XG-91 pointing at 21° and a Winegard YA-1713 pointing at 269°.

Short cables from each to an Antennas Direct EU385CF UVSJ and then into a CPA-18 preamp. (yes, a preamp is indicated.)

Amazon prices are pretty good for the UVSJ.

Tv Antennas and Reception

Make and post 2 more radar plots , 25 and 40 feet. See what that does for the signal strength.
