I agree that trees are a likely culprit. I can't suggest an antenna that will magically solve your reception problem. A 60' tower may fix it, but 120' is where the signal strength jumps. That may sound high to most people, but I have my TV antenna at 120'.
The bent elements work mostly on WRGB on channel 6. Straightening them is unlikely to help WTEN on channel 26.
You could connect a converter box to the antenna that remains scanned on the Utica stations and keep the TV set itself scanned on the Albany stations.
Another option is a VHF only antenna (Winegard HD5030 or the VHF section of what you have) aimed at Albany with a UHF only antenna (Antennacraft U4000 or similar) aimed at WKTV. Combine them in a Channel Master 7777 preamp. (Which you may have already) That nets you everything but ABC with no rotor nor rescanning.
