Does your antenna have "solid" bowties or ones made of rod?

I have one that looks like this:

But it only gets stations up to 45 mi away. It is in the house against a window (no AL screens) but I think the signal is partly blocked by tons of trees and possibly some hills. Even if I put it on the roof, the trees would still heavily block.

I also have an amplified rabbit ear/loop thing in the second floor window and it seems to do just about as well. Both setups go through an amplifier just before hitting the TV.

I recognize that antenna design is the art of compromise and plenty of testing.
