Don't. Lousy antenna with a lousy amp. There are way better options out there.

Wrong direction. The majority of your signals come from near Ankenny which is NNE of you. WOI operates a UHF translator from your ESE. Do you have a window that faces the requisite direction? If so, that's going to be your "best option" for reliable reception.
Did your RCA antenna come with an amp? Is it in use?
Have you tried the RCA oriented in both the horizontal and the vertical orientations, rotating it in various directions as needed?
