To snakefoot,

If I got it right, here is your TVfool report.

At best you have five gettable channels coming in at two angles before NM(dB) gets below zero.

I have a bigger radio shack antenna, it may be good at off aim coverage, but its vastly over rated for distance on weak signals.
Its virtue is lack of huge losses off aim, which works for me and my tvfool report, but is almost certainly not good for yours.

My guess is, to keep the wife happy, you are going to have to get a good low noise preamp, get an antenna rotator or a multiple antenna set up for the two angles, and maybe throw away the radio
shack antenna and replace it with something that will have better gain
for on aim reception.
