Your experience is yet another confirmation that antenna location is one of the most important factors governing reliable reception. An antenna located in an area that has no usable signal to receive can't provide usable results.
Reception of TV signals from locations far away (over the horizon) depends on atmospheric conditions. When the signal bounces of layers of the atmosphere the right way, you get some usable signal at your location... But the rest of the time, there's no signal in the air and no antenna will solve that problem.
For the best chance at receiving weak signals (DXing) consider large antennas such as the Antennas Direct DB8e, 91XG, or similar form factors from vendors like Channel Master and Winegard. Large all channel antennas such as the Winegard HD8200u are also useful and should be considered.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
