To follow on the above, note that signal strength by itself is
meaningless; see

ATSC reception can be affected by many, many things. Misty mentioned
weather and moving trees; also airplanes and time of
day/temperature. Hopefully, with the signal data Chris Clarke will be
able to reorient/relocate his outdoor antenna in a place that will
best receive all his channels.
