Do you have the model number of your RCA antenna?

Is it aimed toward the south? (The longest elements perpendicular to the boom are at the back, the shortest elements are at the front of the antenna.) I ask because many folks mistake the front and rear of their antenna. As I drive around, I'm amazed by the number of antennas I see aimed 180° or 90° off.

Is there any chance that water has entered the matching transformer or coax?

Most satellite J-pole mounts are located on the south side of the building so the dish will have a clear view of the southern sky. I not able to picture your situation.
