Weather can affect your reception. In this case I suspect that the frequency (real channel) used by KOCO is significant. Most of the stations in your area use UHF frequencies (channels 14 and above). KOCO and KETA are the exceptions.
The $10 RCA rabbit ears may be adjustable... are there two telescoping rods on the sides of the unit? If so, try adjusting each rod so that they are about 12 to 15 inches in length and about parallel to the ground. The two rods should run about east to west (perpendicular to the line toward the stations). The goal is to tune the rods to receive channels 7 - 13, and aim at the stations.
The amplified TERK antenna does not appear to be adjustable... and based on it's size may not offer much reception capability below real channel 14.
Sometimes, less is more.
