Signals from Same Tower, but Some Good & Some Bad?

Hi, I am about 50 miles North of San Francisco. Sutro Tower broadcast almost all of my channels.

My question is why does certain channels like KQED-PBS (very strong), KRON or KPIX-CBS come in pretty strong, but some like KUTV-FOX or KBCW doesn't come in as well when they are all broadcast from the same place? I can get FOX during certain time of the day (mostly during the evening at 50% signal strength, but in the afternoon (11am-5pm) the signal is dead at 10%. When the football games are on FOX has a co-channel warning, but what does that mean?

Lastly, what can I do to get better reception of the weak channels that I sometime get & sometime can't?

From TV Fool my TV analysis : http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46aeffe49731a4

And from AntennaPoint : http://www.antennapoint.com/antennas...&commit=Search

I am using an Antenna Direct 91XG with a RCA preamp on a 20' pole outside with 50' of cable.

I just cut the cable, so I'm new to antenna knowledge. Thank you in advance for any information you can offer
