You probably are dealing with quite a bit of multipath. I've been up Route 12 quite a few times, and those rolling hills between you and Binghamton aren't helping. A more directional VHF-HI band will offer not only higher gain, but will provide your tuner with a more stable signal.

I had seen that one of the Binghamton stations was recommending the Winegard Ghost Killer to viewers on their website because of high multipath concerns. I wouldn't recommend the Ghost Killer, but a model with higher gain like DonM has suggested would be ideal.
