When cars go by, the signal changes.
That's normal; you are getting a reflection from the car. It's called dynamic multipath.

Is there anything in the picture that screams "fix me"?
Yes, you are geting reflections off metal objects like the gutter, awning, and fence that can interfere with or enhance the direct signals. It's called static multipath.

If not, what antenna do I need that is reasonably priced?
There is no sense in trying another antenna yet until you have done the things needed with this antenna like grounding, filters, and another antenna location.

What is your present connection system?

Ant > grounding block > HLSJ > tuner ? You should get WOWK with that.

Once you have that you can try some experiments with an antenna with more gain, another filter, and a preamp for WCHS.

Ant > UVSJ > NF-471 > preamp > grounding block > power inserter > tuner

The antenna would be a UHF antenna with more gain like the 91XG

The UVSJ blocks FM and VHF-High but passes UHF

The NF-471 Notch Filter blocks UHF channels 24-29 to make 26 much weaker to keep the preamp from being overloaded by 26
