Thom,
The HD 6010 antenna is an omni directional unit with roughly the same gain as the MD ST it replaced. You've confirmed this by rotating the antenna and not seeing any signal strength difference and by swapping the Win and the MD in the outside location. You need a yagi antenna which has more gain than the omni units but the downside being its directional and needs to be pointed towards whatever station you're trying to receive to get the most benefit from the design.

Amazon has a Stellar 3 element here:
