OTA Reception in 03819 (Danville, NH)

I guess it's time to get serious. I discovered OTA during a week long power outage. We put up an antenna bought for camping and found a dozen channels -- which actually looked better than cable. Putting an XG91 (UHF; north/south) and a DB8 (VHF; Northwest) in my attic, I am able to get 20 channels reliably. WMUR isn't one of them.

I think the DB8 should pick this channel up, but I typically get a signal strength of zero. What don't I understand about this channel?

My house is orientated north south and the XG91 is just west of due south near the south wall of the house. The DB8 points just north of east at the north wall. The antenna sits about 35 feet off the ground. My house is on a hill but surrounded (within a hundred feet on all sides) by red pines. I get 78 signal strength (per my DTVPal DVR) on WENH which is another NH VHF station.
