Your strongest signal freezes and you're thinking amplification.....I'm thinking antenna aiming.
There's no way that a single antenna will be optimum for all of your stations unless you want a rotor.
I have two suggestions:
The Winegard HD-1080 has a VHF pattern that is opposite the UHF pattern. That should solve the FOX problem, but cause a problem with KTBW. (you may not care)
You could install two antennas and connect them to the two inputs of the dual tuner version of the HD HomeRun.
Both antennas should be rated for channels 7-69. The one aimed at 66° should be larger than the other.
An optimum antenna for 66° could be a HD 7496P with an AP 8700 preamp. More gain would loose some signals off the side, less gain would make CBS unreliable.
