The 1080 would likely do better if not for the 2-edge path common to most of the signals.

If possible raise the antenna. Avoid forcing the antenna to 'look' at the side of a building or trees.

If I faced this situation, I would use a more directional antenna. You may be dealing with multipath interference due to the fact the signal has to bend over terrain. Multipath rarely affects two frequencies the same way, making it no surprise you have trouble with some signals and not others. The 1080 is not going to do well rejecting signal from the sides, which makes it a poor choice if you have multipath present.

My choice would be a Winegard HD7694P... mounted as high as practicality allows. Starting aim point of about 195° compass.
