Echoing what GroundUrMast said; go higher, move left/right. Also, it wasn't clear from your reply if you got an amp and are combining UHF and VHF antennas. Details matter when going for weak signals.
Check your aim, use Google maps and true compass headings not magnetic compass aim. At 80 miles out a small aiming error could miss a lot of signal. Also, signals are 2Edge meaning they are refracted, so you could try to aim the antenna up slightly 5-10deg off horizontal.
I don't know if it will help with your setup but I added a 24" twin-lead extension to my balun mainly because of wind but discovered it really improved the performance of my ANT751 with the balun away from the boom. Every dB counts in your case.
