I get excellent results from an old standby 4x2 bow-tie with reflector.
It's a broadband UHF antenna, but also gets enough high-band VHF signal
that the set solidly decodes Ch 8 from about 40 miles away. I have it
on a 20 ft rat shack mast just outside the shack, only 20 ft from my
160M vertical. 80/40 dipole is directly overhead up 110 ft. I've never
seen or heard even the slightest problem with it. There's a Channel
Master mast-mounted preamp on it, and the feedline coming to the shack
has a multi-turn ferrite choke, per the recommendations in my RFI tutorial.

I'd bet that the choke would solve your problem too.
