Donny, you are correct that the UHF is at the front end of the antenna...
unfortunately, the high band of the VHF antenna overlaps slightly into
the UHF. Plus, the balun is mounted to the UHF element.
I betcha this isn't a problem. You should be able to re-locate the balun to the VHF element(s) of the antenna and discard the UHF components.
This would have been a lot easier 15 years ago when we had a 30 year
old vertically stacked VHF only separate from the UHF. But it didn't
survive one winter. lost a few to many reflectors/directors.
Not to many VHF only antenna out there on the retail market these days,
at a reasonable price, I found at the time.
I bought a VHF-hi only antenna last year and it wasn't expensive. My thoughts are the VHF-lo band is being vacated anyway so no point worrying about it.
