There are trees, but the ones that matter are mostly on my neighbors property.

Your signals are very weak. You would need an antenna facing 299 degrees magnetic. Why don't you just aim it there for everything?

It usually is aimed in that direction.

What channels do you get now?

From MSP: KARE & KMSP- stable, WCCO & WUCW- 70% stable until the leaves fell, and the rest only come in when the weather is just right. RF 23.7 (an artifact of KTCI's datacasting) seems to always pop up in most channel scans done, even when the antenna is facing away from Shoreview. KTCI itself rarely ever comes in.
From EAU/LAX: WQOW & WHWC- LOS'esq stable, both are usually received when aimed in any direction (WHWC can be caught with a pair of set top bunny ears), WEUX- stable, WEAU- stable (despite the plot saying it is nearly impossible to receive), and WKBT- unstable, only seen when it is below freezing.

Does she want that ABC station for local news instead of WQOW?

Yes.
I am aware of the OTARD rules, but we would really prefer to have the antenna remain in the backyard and not be attached to the house itself. There are low, active utility lines and trees close to the home. As well as tight property borders and the roofing and siding are fairly new.
