The very narrow beam of the antenna will pick up more signal from the TV station while simultaneously rejecting bounces off the mountains arriving from other directions.

What did analog signals from that location look like before the analog shutdown? I'd assume that there were numerous ghosts. bounces=ghosts=multipath

The other option would be to try for reflected signal instead of a direct signal. For you that would mean aiming at about 80 °.
