Hi Pykeman,
Trees can be bad news. They can deflect and obstruct signal from getting to your antenna. Here in the northwest, one hundred foot tall evergreens aren't the easiest to "get above."
The first step I'd take is test a couple different locations on your roof with the ANT751. See if you can cure it. Signal strengths are all excellent, so it's not a signal issue. You are in a deadspot likely caused by the trees.
If with testing different locations, you still have reception problems, then a stronger antenna might be needed or doing something to "get above" the trees. They sell tree mounts for antennas, but going up 80' on a tree and looping the top off is a lot of work to mount an antenna. They you likely have a long run of coax you have to adjust for.
So, simple: when the weather breaks, test 3 or 4 different locations on your roof with the ANT751. If it doesn't improve then stronger antenna might be in order.
Cheers.
