I agree with the suggestion by Jake V. We need to see a more accurate report because you want the Baltimore signals which are 2Edge signals from terrain interference. You can see the terrain path by clicking on a callsign in your report.

We want you to go here to use coordinates for your exact antenna location. If you don't know your coordinates, you will see that they change under the map as you move the cursor (drag and drop).

Your full coordinates will not show in the report; they will be shortened to 2 digits after the decimal point.

I can't give too much detail about my elevation, I put 15 feet as the antenna height but I'm not sure what TV Fool is referencing it from, because as said, I'm on a hill (almost at the top, but not quite).
The computer simulation knows about the hill, but it doesn't know the antenna height above ground.

If you know your (planned) antenna's height, you can specify that here in feet above ground level, AGL
(e.g., 25)
If you use the interactive map browser, enter the height in the box below the map before clicking on Make Radar Plot >> above the upper right corner of the map.
