Yes. For that matter, your signal situation calls for a pre-amp with just one TV.

What if we got an excellent quality VHF antenna and hooked that to one TV and left the other as it is for the UHF, since that comes in great?
Sure, if you like. This means individual coax cables leading to each TV. If you combine the antennas through the CM 7777 and then feed signals to both TVs from a splitter inside the house, though, all channels would be available on both TVs.

Could we mount the two antennas near each other?
They may be placed on the same mast if you wish, with the RS antenna being used for UHF mounted on top. Separate them by at least four feet to prevent interaction between antennas. If you'd rather use two mounts, separate the antennas by at least eight feet, and make sure one antenna isn't located behind the other with respect to the TV signals.
