Before you spend any money, (if you have to, John's suggestion will certainly work) a check of your current system is in order. Let me see if I understand you correctly:
- reception of the channels you listed is satisfactory, save for occasional drop outs.
- the drop outs are only fixed by repositioning the antenna.
- WTTA is not received by either the converter box or TV.
- the antenna's feed is split, with one side going to the diverted box and the other side going to the TV via a booster.
First thing: check to see if the antenna is securely fasted to the mast. You should not have to continually reaim the antenna (be sure to aim like John suggested.) Next, check the balun (the device that connects to the antenna that accepts coax connections) and all coax cable and connectors for tightness and integrity. If all that is ok, then completely remove the booster. Not picking up the strongest UHF points either to a defect somewhere in your feed system or you are subject to multipath interference. Your description of your location would rule out multipath.
If all else fails, the Winegard should pick up the Fox affiliate.
Good luck!
