Channel Master 2016

Looking at the illustration the Channel Master 2016 looks a bit like a UHF yagi type antenna with a VHF rabbit ear type element as a forward swept Vee added on to the rear of the boom. This cause me to wonder if I could jury rig a VHF element on to the rear of my 91XG. Anyone with a hands on for the 2016 recall how the VHF element is coupled to the UHF element?

Not if someone halfway observant recalls the connection at the feed point!

People that know what they are doing would use a UVSJ combiner and put a VHF antenna on the mast then combine the UHF & VHF signals through the UVSJ.

People that understand G/T and noise figures would add as little as possible if they were seeking fringe area reception.
