Actually, some TV antennas reject the FM band so that strong FM signals
don't overload the TV receiver front end.

As I stated in my original post, my VHF antenna has 1/2 wave horizontal
FM elements too. The antenna works great for TV, but not FM. There's
just something about my terrain where 1/2 wave horizontal FM elements
are
ineffective. Therefore, I'd like to try a good vertical (semi-vertical)
omni.

Are you sure about that? Generally, a VHF TV antenna with two sets of
elements has one set for channels 2 - 6 and another for 7 - 13. FM
elements
would be about 4-1/2 feet tip to tip.
