Hello and welcome!
All of your major network channels are coming from two rough groupings. About half are west of you and the other half are south-east of you.
All of the channels are UHF (14-69) except for WTVI (ch 11). All of the UHF stations are handled by the "loop" portion of your antenna. WTVI needs be handled by the "rabbit ears" portion of your antenna. If you are having any difficulty with WTVI, I suggest that you extend the rabbit ears elements out about half way and then spread them apart (you can even lay them out horizontally if you have the space).
For optimum aim of loop+rabbit ears, you want the "face" of the antenna to be facing the direction of the transmitters (either west or south-east in your case). In other words, the signal coming from the transmitters should be coming in perpendicular to the plane of the loop + rabbit ears antenna elements.
Indoor reception can sometimes be tricky due to signals being blocked or reflected by walls and other (sometimes hidden) objects. You can try moving your antenna higher (second floor or attic?) or you might be better off with a more directional antenna like the Philips SDV2790/27 (also sold as the PHDTV3) or the Terk HDTVi.
These antennas are more directional, so they can sometimes clean up a signal that is prone to indoor "echoes" or "ghosts" that cause trouble for some digital receivers.
