Most of our stations here after transition moved back to VHF including my favorite PBS station. So I had to get a VHF antenna to augment my UHF. With two it was a good setup as I could point them differently. We were so borderline on the PBS channel that this was the only way to get it.
And antenna signals are funny way beyond what you expect.
A client lives in a canyon that faces south. He has an extensive antenna signal distribution system, where we equalized the levels of the VHF stations and just accepted what came in on UHF. Through experimentation I found that the best antenna aiming was due east, toward the broadcasting towers thirty miles away, even though the antenna was facing into a hill at least 300 feet high! All the relevant channels worked fine except his PBS station, channel 28.
To get that, we found we had to point the antenna due north, straight up the canyon and about 90 degrees away from being pointed directly at the station! We put up an antenna for that, somehow mixed the signals together, and all was well.
