I'm SW of Disneyland in Anaheim and have a problem getting a good signal on Channel 7.1 (ABC). I’ve used a Channel Master CM 3018 and an RCA ANT751. Both pick up most of the channels I want, but 7.1 has a stutter every minute or so (some pixilation and sound cuts in/out). My antenna does not have any real obstacles in it's field and is outside approx. 13 ft. high pointing NW toward Mt. Wilson (approx. 345 deg). The RG6 cable is about 30 ft. to a closet with a Antennas Direct CDA4 distribution amp feeding 4 Silicon Dust HD receivers. My TV Fool report is:

If I'm reading the reports correctly, I should be getting good reception. I'm kind of at a loss why reception on channel 7.1 breaks up every minute or so.
My question is this -- can I buy or build an antenna that targets one
channel, ABC channel (7.1), and tie it into the main feed with a Winegard
CC-7870 Antenna Coupler or a CHANNEL PLUS 2512 DC + IR Passing 2-Way
Splitter/Combiner? If so, what would be a smart choice?
I've been looking for something to target channel 7.1 and found an antenna built from copper pipe (

I appreciate any suggestions, and I don't mind if you call me a dummy! I'm
tech smart, but not when in comes to antennas.
