Help with reception

Hi,
We have poor reception on several channels (2,6 and 12) most of the time. Channels 8 and 10 usually have good reception unless there is heavy rain or
wind. There is a row of fir trees about 120 ft. from the antenna and a row of pine trees about 70 ft. beyond the firs. Both are between the antenna and the tv towers.

Our antenna is Radio Shack 150-0264 installed 5/2009, but the cable is much older. The antenna is about 5 ft. above the roof, a total of 19 ft. above the
ground. Cable run is 55 ft. Indoors we have a Channel Master amplifier
model 3043 with gain of 22dB and a Philco converter box model TB100HH9.
Reception is even worse without the amplifier.

Would you recommend replacing the older cable? Would a different amp be
advised? We'd appreciate any suggestions to improve our tv reception. When the signals were analog, we had excellent reception of channels 2,6,8,10 and 12.

Thank you!
