After wandering the roof with the CM-2016, it seems that the original location is the best place for UHF reception. I lowered the antenna to the original height and get all of the UHF channels I want as well as ABC strongly enough to not glitch.
There was a spot elsewhere on the roof where I got several stations very nicely with the antenna down close to the roof, but could not receive some of the weaker stations. Hoisting the antenna above about 4 feet caused the signal strength to drop off on all channels.
Anyway, the only stations I can't receive right now are on actual channel 9, 11, and 13. Along with the weak signal for channel 7, those are all VHF-high stations. Apparently the CM-2016 is not so good for VHF-high reception, as you have told me. I'll be ordering a Winegard -- $58 for a 7694P or $84 for a 7696P...I may go for the 7696P just to be sure.
