I had a large Radio Shack Antenna on my roof with the same problem. I want back to RS and got a preamp and it helped a lot. They have the Winegard® HDP-269 Preamplifier for $59 and it should help you. Also if for some reason it doesn't fix your problem they will most likely take it back. You do need to mount it up near the antenna...not so easy at 30 feet. (This is assuming the antenna is not broken or you have a bad connection)

(I replaced a cheap preamp with a winegard and saw some UHF improvement BUT saw good VHF improvement. )
