Went up to 500 ft - did not see any FOX stations anywhere.
You have channels 5, 8 and 12 at 164 degrees and nearly all the 10-30 degree stations are UHF.
I'd aim the 4228HD about 20 degrees west of north and a VHF 2-13 like a Winegard HD8200U or a ChannelMaster 3679 or a Winegard 7084P aimed about 165 degrees and join them with a CM 7777 pre-amp.
You might get by with a slightly smaller VHF antenna than those two enormous UHF/VHF antennas but you only need the VHF part.
Hopefully the low power translators in the area will not overload the tuner with these high powered antennas and the high power pre-amp. If they do, you can back off to a UVSJ (UHF VHF signal joiner) and a Winegard HDP269 pre-amp.
