Losing reception at night

Hi all,

I'm a relative newbie when it comes to antennas. I'd like some help trying to reliably receive FOX. Here is my TV Fool report:

I've been using an HBU33 in the attic with a 7777 pre-amp and I have never really been able to receive channels 8.1 and 43.1. On a very rare occasion, they would come in for brief periods of time.

Anyway, I finally bit the bullet and mounted this antenna to the roof and low-and-behold, I got both channels. Unfortunately, it didn't really last. While channel 8 comes in reliably, channel 43 only comes in sporadically. In particular, it seems to come in very reliably at night and in the morning but it is hardly ever available during the day.

I'm guessing there's not much I can do except get a larger antenna. If this is the case, I'm open to recommendations. I really want to keep the antenna as small as possible. Would a Winegard HD-7696P improve the situation much or would I still have the same problem?
