Bizarre Intermittent Reception

First, here is my report:

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...8387b67abd9e9f

I have been having OTA reception problems. I had an old TV antenna and got sporadic reception on all the channels, so I recently installed a RCA-ANT751 and still had some stuttering, especially on 8.1 and 33.1 (odd as they are hi-VHF and UHF). I added an amplifier and all the channels worked wonderfully.

However, less than a week later the stations all disappeared. I could only get 13.1 (14) and 27.1 (36). I took the amplifier off and still only got 14 and 36.

I live near the old Carswell Air Force Base, and the Lockheed plant in Fort Worth, Texas, so I wonder if there may be some type of interference from their radio or radar transmissions.

Any ideas or information would be greatly appreciated. I live in River Oaks, Texas, just north and west of downtown. My antenna is pointed at 118 degrees south east where the transmitters are. I'm stumped and would really appreciate your input.
