One more bit of info that may or may not be important: On a typical station, the signal strength bar will be way over on the right, not pegged out, but close. Then, maybe a few times an hour it will streak to the left, go back and forth, then the signal degrades. This usually lasts only for a few minutes then it goes back to full power for 10-15 minutes.

The symptoms point toward water in the coax or balun, a loose or corroded connector, a broadband RF noise source or multipath.
Inspect the connectors, substitute a known good coax (you don't have to fully install it to test). If you still have the same symptoms, you may find yourself looking for electrical devises that are causing RFI... isolate by turning off items one at a time.
Any new construction recently?
