Replace the ground mounted vertical with a SteppIR BigIR
mounted on the roof with tuned radials for each band.  Replace the 
tribander with a compact SteppIR Yagi.  Depending on the height
of the Yagi, the vertical might be best as high as 20 meters
or even 17 meters.  Don't bother to get a SteppIR Yagi that
covers 40 or 30 meters.  Just 20 and up.
