The stations 5 miles away are repeaters for distant channels. There are 6 channels that can be received. The digital stations have subchannels that result in 11 stations that you are getting.

By the way, all the stations are on high band VHF. A Y5-7-13, Y10-7-13, or YA1713 antenna would have worked well and been smaller and cheaper.
