After having said all that, I think a new antenna and coax will do you wonders.
I flew through SFO on my way home last night... the weather in the Bay Area gets low and wet at times... we were in heavy snow from the Woodside VOR, @ 10,000' all the way till short final at about 1500'. No doubt weather is a factor, but, you need a new antenna and coax.
