Welcome, Rich:
You have asked some interesting questions. Without knowing more about your location, we can only give general answers, because every reception location is unique.
Please do a tvfool report, using exact address or coordinates of the location of your antenna. Your exact address will not show in the report and any coordinates will be shortened. With an active link to your signal report, we can click on a callsign to see the terrain profile between the transmitter and your location.

I have an old, analogue Field Strength Meter that I have been using to adjust the direction of the antennas.

What make and model? I am interested in FSMs and signal level meters (SLMs), and enjoy making measurements as you might notice in my signature.
If my tuner is not able to pick up a channel durng a scan, I use the same technique that you use. I try to make a measurement of the signal strength to see if is even there.

This signal is strong enough, but the signal quality (SNR and uncorrected errors) is poor, so it can't be decoded.
The antenna was moved to another location, and the signal was picked up during a scan and could be decoded:
