I think you have done a good job finding the best antenna location available on your property without going to extreme measures like a push-up mast with guy wires in the back yard.
Your signal report indicates that a preamp isn't necessary, but the actual signals arriving at your antenna might be weaker because of the trees.
The only other possibility I can think of is an antenna with a wider beamwidth.
If you used two antennas, one for each direction, there would be the problem of combining them or having to switch them.

I now have the antenna connected to a Tablo Quad (4-tuner) DVR. The problem I'm having right now is that I occasionally get dropped recordings for
channels
4-1
11-1
15-1
28-1
It doesn't happen all the time. I'm questioning if it is the Tablo or the antenna.
