You've got a handful of them right there in your backyard it seems. I'd guess you have a good amt of elevation changes around you since you seem to have towers in all different directions.

The further you can get from the trees, the better. I had oaks, pines and poplars around me that made it tough to tune consistently during the summer due to all the leaves, especially when the wind was blowing. They were just 20 ft from the house on the receiving side. It was a battle to tweak and tune with just two tower locations both of which were relatively close. Winter was much better reception-wise.

You got any antennas to play with? Rabbit ears or a old bowtie in that box of junk in the attic?! Hard to compare to a big aerial on the roof, but you can get an idea.
