Quirky issue with Primary vs Secondary channels

Greetings and thanks for any help here.
I live in Napa, CA (where the fires are mostly under control now!)

During the windstorm last Sunday, my RCA ANT751 swung out of alignment about 30 degrees on its mast. I corrected that yesterday and also straightened out a couple of the "arms" that were slightly bent by the wind.

Most of my reception seemed to be back to where it should be, but I noticed that video is choppy on most of the x.1 channels, but ok on x.2 or x.3

For instance, 9.1 is the local SF PBS station main channel, but the video and audio is choppy there, but just fine on 9.3 where many of the same shows are repeated daily.
Same choppy problem on CBS on 5.1 - but 5.2 is OK.
Same for 11.1 and 11.2

From the antenna, the cable runs into the house to a splitter and then to HDHomerun Connect – nothing else right now on the splitter. I am using both Windows Media Center and HDHomerun View with the same spotty results.
(I have updated firmware and power cycled the HDHomerun device.)

Here’s my TvFool location report:

Is there some slight antenna damage that could cause this type of problem?
Or is there something different about the x.1 broadcast that is harder to get a clean signal with?

Thanks - Sam
