Newbie reception question

Hi All,

Trying to diagnose a reception problem. I recently located to northern Mn
got a place in the country, picked up a used tower, rotor, antenna and amp
all in good shape and got it setup.

Here is tv signal analysis:

equipment:
tower: 20 ft main, with a 20 ft crankup section and 10ft mast on top.
antenna, I believe to be Antennacraft CCS1233 vhf/uhf model.
cable: less than 100 ft from ant to amp.
amp:CM spartan 3, with 2 way split downstream of amp.
Tv: Panasonic lcd with digital tuner and CM Ota DVR.

Antenna is set to 38 deg and approx 30ft in height, nearest treeline is
approx 100 ft away.

Reception: 31.1-31.4 digital, signal is perfect. Analog 29 is grainy.
Problem chan is 13.1, it will not lock at all.

I tried leaving tv set to 13.1 and rotating antenna from 0 deg N to 90 deg E,
but no success.

Today, I even tried setting antenna to 111 deg, and tried for other chans,
no success..... but 31.1-31.4 chans came in perfectly even at this angle.

I am scratch'n my head as to why 13.1 won't show up at all.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Chris
