wierd reception problem

my tvfool report is here:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...da32534a98d153

I have an 91XG on a 25' pole pointed approx 71 deg Magnetic or whatever brings in the strongest signal for my 21.1 channel.
all the channels I am interested in receiving are from the same direction (as far as I can make out)

I can't seem to get a signal for my channel 42.1 which is my CBS

all the channels are listed with positive NM ratios and the 91XG has a 16 DB gain, so I cant figure out why I can't get channel 42. My only thought is that I am pointing directly at a tree,but its trunk is only 6" thick. however, my channel 21 has only 3db signal more than 42 (on the chart), and 21 works fine, so I'm stuck.


I also have a CM3042 before the splitters, but I aim with a laptop and ATSC tuner connected directly to the antenna wire.

I use the signal level reader in Media Center for Windows 7

Any Ideas?

I would also Ultimately like to pick up one of the PBS stations, could i get a recommendation?

also, I know its a long shot, but would 4 91XGs and a phemt pre-amp pull in the ION station thats in my chart?
