Your indoor antenna maybe out of that interference sources's path, or in a RF shadow hidden from it.

Something on the same frequency and/or between your antenna and the transmitting tower.

Tricky problem to track down. Lots of trial and error, you may need to move the antenna a few feet this way or that.
Interference crossed my mind too. I agree it's very difficult to track down. I live in a very densely populated neighborhood. It's possible the source of interference may not even be in my own house. Another thing I considered is possibly the station is having technical difficulties and maybe running with reduced power at times. But I would have no way of confirming that.
