It contributes a LOT to the problem; trees block TV signals.

Scroll down to Trees and UHF.
I do see trees in your area, but I'm not sure which house belongs to you. I have removed the street names from the satellite image:
If you are willing, maybe you can give me the exact coordinates of your antenna in a PM so that I can see how the trees interfere with the WCAX signal. You can get the coordinates using the tvfool interactive map browser. As you move the cursor by drag-and-drop, the coordinates below the map will change.

I will not post a closeup of your house with the green signal lines without your permission.
A photo of what an antenna "sees" when it is aimed at WCAX would be helpful.
OK, WCAX doesn't do well with your present antenna aimed at 342 degrees true/356 degrees magnetic.
What we want to know is how does WCAX do with a UHF antenna like the DB2e or DB4e aimed at 112 degrees true/126 degrees magnetic.
