Near power lines

I live 4 miles outside downtown Portland, so I should have no trouble getting good TV reception, but I am lucky to get even one network, and that (ABC) goes in and out all the time. I think the problem may be the high-voltage power lines that run along the street nearby. Here is my reception report:

I am currently using the Mohu Leaf 30, but it has done little to help with reception. They tell me to add the Mohu Jolt amplifier. Has anyone had any experience with power line interference? Will an amplifier help? I'm close to giving up and calling the dreaded cable company. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Maybe a picture toward Portland showing us what you are facing would help understand the power line issue you may be encountering.

This image shows the power lines just to the east of my condo.
The support help at Mohu mentioned that they may be interfering with reception.
