All of the cable and connectors should be inspected for signs of corrosion or water intrusion. Once water has entered the coax, it should be replaced.
If you can consider a tower or other means to safely mount higher, it would be helpful to see a TVFR based on the higher AGL.
If I were starting from scratch, using the 25' AGL signal predictions, I'd opt for a big all channel antenna such as the Winegard HD8200U and a high input preamp such as the Winegard HDP-269 or the Antennas Direct CPA-19. The reason I would opt for such a big antenna is that I don't see any other hope of receiving an NBC affiliate. Realistically, a reliable WMC is VERY optimistic. A heavy duty rotator would also be needed.
If your existing antenna does not have bent or broken parts and the connection terminals are not corroded, you may want to try adding a preamp before replacing the antenna.
