Well if the antenna wire coils past itself, that can increase, or decrease the signal, I have seen that, no matter what the wire. After I pointed my antenna I tweeked it a few degrees left and right to get the sweet spot for a weaker station, the strong one dipped a little, kinda little compromise on the signal.... Its strange doing it with that signal meter, after using it for a day or two, you may have to turn it a little go smooth things out..... Everything effects it, the rain, clouds, farts, wind, seasons, leaves...... Time of day in some cases....
I had trouble with noise, needed to tighten all the connections with a wrench, then also run a extra ground to all the connections on the boosters, and connect it to the ground on the outlet, as well as the ground rod outside.... I think some of it was eddies.... And got end caps for the unused outlets on the signal splitters... Got 1 to 5 splitters in bulk for a good price, then got the end caps while tracing the noise.... I know there is a real name for them, I just don't remember it.... Kinda like the end caps for SCSI boxes years ago, Terminators, I think they were called... A friend of mine called them end caps so the little SCSI's wouldn't get out.... : )
You're lucky you are in such a good signal spot. I'm 70 miles from NYC and when the guy 3 houses away eats kielbasa, and farts outside, there goes channel 2 for the night....
And if I wanna tape something we can't turn on or off any lights in the house or I get drop outs....
