TV Signal Issue

I would like to thank you in advance for giving me guidance with my reception issue. By no means do I fully understand everything that I’m doing, so please excuse my ignorance, and correct me.
Here are the stations that I am concerned with receiving.
WPVI, KYW, WCAU, WPSG, and WTXF
Here are the results for my location.

I mounted the antenna (18ft off ground) where the previous owners had one installed. I ran a 2ft section of rg6 from tv to fm trap, then 25ft of rg6 from trap to grounding block and 7ft from grounding block to antenna transformer. I tried a preamp, but made all stations worse so I am not using one. Not sure of the antenna brand or model. I can tell you it was in storage (Told it is 16 years old) and looks to be brand new (It was given to me).
Here is a picture of Antenna: http://s1329.photobucket.com/user/gu...a5510.jpg.html

I currently receive all channels perfectly with the exception on WPVI. This station is pixilated off and on from time to time. Other times you cannot even watch, it is so bad. It seems that during the day 10am – 7pm and 11pm to 6am seems to be the best reception time. This leads me to believe someone is causing the interference, but not sure what to do.
I do have a fire station and a police station to the east of the house, but not in the line of site of antenna (They would be in the back of antenna). Not sure if the trees are giving me issues for they are about 20yards away in line of sight.
Any Help Would Be Appreciated
Thanks
Stu
