Channel Master 4228 question

[mailman390]

I realize the CM4228 is a UHF antenna, but has anyone had any luck picking up VHF with this unit? Antennaweb shows most of my DT signals are 23 miles away and some are closer. But a few are VHF. ABC is 8 miles away and is channel 8.1 and VHF. Some of the STD signals are as far away as 60.8 miles. I plan on using a rotor and a pre-amp on an outside install. I was looking into the RadioShack VU-120XP which does both UHF & VHF but it is very large. Antennaweb does have me in the Violet color. I just figured the CM4228 is smaller and cheaper, so if it can pickup close VHF signals, I prefer to go with it. I live in CT and have no close abstructions but there is a cell tower within a mile of my house. Some say towers like this cause ghost images.

I have the 4228 8bay bow tie antenna and can pick up one VHF station 12.1 in my area. There are any other so I can say about anthing lower.

here's how the 4228 works in the VHF range. It doesn't work at all on channels 6 and below.
