			Thanks you John Candle for all the feedback. You saved me from running off and buying an omnidirectional antenna. 
 
The exact location of my receiver is 32.284721 -110.734161 
 
I have now attempted a full 360 degree rotation of the receiver, rescanning the channels every 5 degrees. In doing so I have verified that pointing the antenna directly at the Repeaters (253 degrees True North) gives me the best results, using my current antenna. 
 
I now get the following Real channels: 13, 16, 28, 40, 44 
 
I knew I had no shot at picking up 25 (FOX) because they don't have a presence at the repeater location. The real mystery though is why I can't pickup 4 (NBC). That is very disappointing. 
 
This is the info on the channel 4 transmitter: 
K04QP-D 4 (4.1) 
NBC 
Max ERP: 0.300 kW 
Eff. pwr: 0.300 kW 
Rx: -49.7 dBm  NM: 41.3 dB 
Az: 253.1 degree (true) 
 
Perhaps my antenna won't go that low in the VHF range? If this is the case is there something I can add to my antenna to pull in NBC?
