I have been looking for a UHF only outside TV antenna or plans on
how to construct a double bow tie like antenna. Right now I have a 50
foot short run of RG-59 to an upstairs patio post. At the end of the
coax run I user an old TV antenna transformer to interface to the 300
ohm lead from a single bow tie (that came with old TV). This setup
works but surely there is something better. We are not that far from
the transmission sites but an inside antenna will not work.

home depot has "HDTV" antennas. They are primarily UHF with a couple
of VHF elements scattered in them. They, or Lowes may have what you
are looking for.

Also 300 ohm twin-lead, if properly installed, will bring in a
stronger signal than the coax will.

hope this helps
