I'm messing up big time...LOL

About the only thing you can do is to get your antenna as high up as possible in the air. Get a dipole up to at least 1 wavelength or more and it will make a difference. You may have to experiment some and also try building some different antennas. But with you being so low in the valley you really need to get that antenna up as high as possible. I know when I got above 40-50ft that man my dipole really came alive. Height is might.

Yeah, I plan on getting it up some more but there's no way I could get it up 40-50 foot. The very most I could do would be a little over 30. And I can't run a full wave either. Right now I'm running a have wave free standing all metal dipole. No wires tied to anything. And it's right around 20 feet. But like I said I'm going to add another join of pipe to it in the near future. I'm stuck in a low antenna rut...lol But it'll get better with a little more height.
