While I have good overall reception, I have some random drop outs & would like more solid reception. WXPX-TV 42 (66.1) ION seems to drop out more than some others, though they're all prone to occasional drop outs from time to time. What antenna would you recommend? Thanks.

With it pointed at 165° like it was, the rear of a long antenna would touch the roof of the house, but pointed due south, it won't. Thanks.

I agree, this sounds like multipath or tree induced interference, which is why I suggested that before replacing the antenna, other simple and inexpensive trouble causes be eliminated.
If needed, and if possible, relocate the antenna.
Only as a last resort would I replace the antenna. 'On paper' the UP-7 should be doing the job. If I replaced an antenna in good working order for theses symptoms, I would use a larger, not smaller antenna. I'd be trying to get additional directivity and gain, not less.
@5u4, has the aim adjustment solved the problem?
