Success
I did try soaking the transformer with water, and this had no effect on reception in otherwise dry conditions. Reception on all channels is good.
So I moved the antenna to the driveway location temporarily, 15' above ground, with a mostly clear view of the transmitter towers. The "signal level" readout by my receiver is higher on all channels, and yesterday I was able to check the levels during rain - they were very close to the same levels as when the weather is dry. This is with the same antenna and transformer, albeit different coax from the antenna.
So, I am going to make the driveway installation more permanent and call it good. Thanks for all of the good advice!
