You're going to have a really tough time getting ch 9 and 11 from the north, because those stations are almost 100 miles from you and the signal is very weak (9=-10.9NM and 11=-14.4 NM) and the only VHF high antenna with that much pulling power is no longer made (Funke PSP-1922 with gain of about 15dB).
If the NM (noise margin) is so low that adding it to the antenna gain still leaves you in negative territory, you can almost forget anything but sporatic reception.
UHF on the other hand, there is the Winegard HD-9032 with gain ranging from 14.9 @ ch 14 to 16.3 @ ch32 that might get those stations in the + territory, but barely.
If I were you I'd try stations in other directions like 331 and 176 just for grins. Put a Winegard AP8275 preamp or a CM 7777 pre-amp on your old antenna just to see if it still has any life in it (questionable) and try the stations to the south, they are evidently twice as close as the ones to the north.
