You would have to look at the entire spectrum at your location to say.

You could be attenuating an offending harmonic frequency of your desired ATSC station. You could be attenuating an offending strong signal that is interfering with the AGC of the front end of your receiver. Lastly you could be attenuating a strong reflection that is overwhelming the echo canceller of your receiver, although I'd put that one as a 'probably not.'

What ATSC signal conditions, other than multi-path errors, would
cause some receivers to give an intermittent  "Loss of Signal"
indication (might be loss of sync) where inserting 21 dB of
attenuation in the antenna connection corrects the problem?
