The location symptoms described make me suspect multipath. An omnidirectional antenna has the least capability of overcoming that difficulty.

A 4-bay panel antenna would be worth trying. It will have a bit more directivity which will reduce some multipath interference if it's arriving from the side of the antenna. With the antenna facing SE, you should still expect to receive WXII and WUNL.

I'm thinking of antennas such as the Antennacraft U4000, Antennas Direct DB-4, etc.
