Need antenna upgrade suggestion in Portland, OR

Hello,

I recently dumped directv and got the antenna out of storage. It's a Winegard SS-1000, coupled with a Channel Master 7777 preamp. I originally purchased them in 2007.

The run is about 30-40 feet, split 3 ways.

All of the stations I want to receive are grouped together on about a 312 heading, 13 miles.

I'm in a river valley, so terrain and trees are an issue. There are also 2 birch trees about 30 feet away that are partially blocking the signals.

I'm getting fairly decent reception on most channels. The SS-1000 is designed as UHF-only, but does ok with 3 high-VHF stations. The channel I have the most trouble receiving is 43. Go figure. I'm hoping a stronger antenna will provide better and more consistent reception. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
