A few comments;

Car FM radios tend to be far more sensitive than "Stereo's" that one
sees in the home. They are also better shielded against noise.

I'd suggest your receiver has some major sensitivity issue (like a blown
front end from a close lighting strike etc). Its unlikely but there
could also be a local interferring source causing a problem. This would
be very unusual on FM though. Can you hear other stations well?

As decribed the yagi is aligned at right angles to the station, where
minimum signal will be! A check of connections and matching (you said
300 ohms then coax) will also be in order.
