It's unclear what comes loose so I can't tell if there is a simple fix like tightening or replacing a few fasteners. Or is the existing equipment simply worn out and in need of replacement all together.
If I was in the same situation shown in your reception report, and stating from scratch, I'd focus my attention on the Milwaukee signals, at least to start with. Rather than using an omnidirectional antenna which lacks the gain and directivity that's needed in these weak signal conditions, I'd opt for a Winegard HD7698P which I'd point at Madison (134° per a compass). I would skip a rotator, once the aim has been fine tuned and the mounting clamp properly tightened, further adjustment should not be needed.
If you have more than one TV and /or a cable run of 50 feet or longer, I'd also install an Antennas Direct 'Juice' preamplifier. Many other preamplifiers are quite likely to have trouble with the powerful signal from WWRS (real CH-43).
If you want to go after the Madison signals, I'd test the viability of those signals by temporarily pointing the HD7698P toward 243° to see if those signals are worth the effort of adding a second antenna dedicated to that market.
