Yeah, there are trees around, not as bad as that satellite view appears though, since I removed some a couple years ago.
That sounds hopeful; trees really mess with UHF signals.

scroll down to Trees and UHF

The coax should be grounded with a grounding block that is connected to the house electrical system ground with 10 gauge copper wire for electrical safety. For further compliance with the electrical code (NEC), the mast should also be grounded in a similar manner to drain any buildup of static charge, but the system will not survive a direct strike.

Please let us know how it works out for you on this same thread.
