If you've got a 2-83 antenna - it's really a bunch of antennas stuck together. I've got a couple of those monsters and they are hard to keep together in high winds. That is especially true with the newest ones that are more flimsy (like the Winegard 8200U). It's about the biggest VHF/UHF antenna available now and used to be more HD and truck-shipped. But it's been cheapened so it can be shipped via UPS in two pieces.
If you want good UHF reception - the square "bow tie" antennas work incredibly well and have a small wind "foot-print." Very durable in lousy weather. Channel Master 4228HD or a Winegard HD8800.
With VHF - since the antenna has to be larger then UHF - using two antennas works better IF you actually have that many VHF channels you care about. Where I live in NY - there is only one channel left on VHF low-band. VHF high-band has 2 or 3. By nature of the wavelength - channel 2 requires the largest rods and channel 13 the smallest. So a low-band 2-6 is pretty big, whereas a high-band 7-13 is much smaller. There is a huge gap between what is called channel 6 and channel 7 since that is where FM radio exists. There was a huge law-suit over it many years ago. The poor guy that invented FM radio sued the TV industry (RCA) and died before he won the award. His widow later got the money but the big hole between 6 and 7 still holds the FM signal. That guy was Mr. Edwin Armstrong - inventor of the Armstrong System that later became FM radio. He was one of the most promient commication inventors in history - yet I guess few people now-adays know who he was.

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil�s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
