VERY Important channel Lost

Location:19808 and in a low-lying area of the zip code.

Analysis Map:

RTM OTA antenna on JMount at 27' above ground level. (Winegard HD7084P antenna)

Pre-amps, installed in the attic, do not improve anything for me. I've tried them with no improvements so I have none connected to the FR line, in.

History:
Roof top antenna installed in 2007
From the Beginning, I have had intermittent time periods when Channel 42 (Fox 29.1) either pixelates or signal is so weak or too strong that I loose it all together with no discernible cause.
Transmitter Location of WXTF: 40.040668 -75.2382
The Transmission Tower for WXTF is 31 miles away and within a stones throw of other channels like WHYY (that I receive) and yet I can't get 29.1 (actually channel 42).


Within the last 30 days, I've LOST 29.1 WXTF (Fox) just in time to totally mess up my Eagles viewing season. Moving the antenna in either direction does nothing for Fox.

I've tried switching out Amps. The stronger Amp produced less reception.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
