I have to wonder if the CM-7777 is at the edge of overloading. It's a weak signal preamplifier and your report indicates plenty of strong line of site signals.

Have your tried removing the amplifier and it's power supply?

If I was starting from scratch, I would consider an Antennacraft HD1200, or Channel Master CM-3018 and no preamplifier. If needed, a Channel Master CM-3410 distribution amplifier could be inserted between the antenna and splitter. http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=13646
