Signal Strength on One Channel - Help

Hello,

Having a slight problem with my reception and was hoping someone could help.

TV Fool Results:

Antenna:
Winegard FV-HD30 FreeVision UHF VHF Antenna

Mounted in the attic, which has the solar shield coating. No amp or preamp in use. 2 way splitter goes to each of the 2 TVs hooked up in the house.

The problem:

As you can see from the TV Fool report, I'm only about 5 miles from the broadcast antennas. My antenna is mounted from the attic ceiling, in the middle of the space between the ceiling and the floor from a wooden mast. I get a strong signal on every channel except FOX (26.1). Other stations share that direction so I know the antenna is pointed properly. Why would I be receiving a weak signal from that station only? The channel still comes in but it can fluctuate in strength to the point where the picture/sound stutter on occasion. It works, but is sometimes just annoying to watch the channel due to the fluctuating signal quality.

Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

Thank you in advance.
