The antenna and coax were probably new with the house, circa 1997. I confirmed again with my coworkers those stations are on the air. They are pulling them in with indoor antennas. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to upgrade the antenna and cabling, but surely that wouldn't cause some stations to come in and some not to, especially with the amount of signal strength there. Like I said, I have no problem pulling in stations from 65 miles, so why I can't pull these from 12 miles is puzzling, especially when they are all transmitting from the exact same tower.
One thing I thought of last night was that I was doing the adjustments and channel search last Friday night. Perhaps my timing was terrible and I was doing it in the middle of some disruption from the solar storm and those stations were down temporarily. I need to get back up there and try aiming it at 262deg once more to rule that out I suppose. But that would be a pretty giant coincidence since there were no local reports of outages due to the CME.
