Back when I used to experiment a lot with this kind of thing, the Terk amplifieds were pretty much thought of as garbage. Your problem sounds like multi path, and the amplification probably makes it worse and that is why it cuts out. I've heard good things about this one lately

In some areas though, a roof mounted antenna with a rotor is going to be your only option.
