Do you get none of the signals from 7 degrees, or everything but KGUN?

Two possibilities,

1. Excessive multipath due to the rugged terrain. The solution would be an antenna with more directivity.

2. FM interference from KMXZ and KRQQ. These stations are half the frequency of channel 9 and about 28 db stronger. That's normally not a problem unless you have a preamplifier or distribution amplifier that is overloaded by the strong FM stations. If you have such an amp, replace it with a Winegard AP4700. That amplifier bypasses VHF and amplifies UHF only.
