In general, both signal strength and quality are important, but quality is more important than strength. 66% strength isn't great, but if the quality is pretty consistently at least in the 80's in that case, the picture will probably be stable for the most part. If KXTX is stable, your FOX problem probably isn't 5G/LTE cellular interference. The first thing you should do is just try messing with your existing antenna's placement/pointing direction, while watching the signal meter numbers, to see if you can make things any better. If that doesn't help, then I would try a more UHF focused antenna, since all the major channels in Dallas are on UHF, including ABC. As shown a little ways down on the https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=73701#station page, ABC is simulcast on KFAA's UHF signal, via display channel 8.8.

In that case, you would either get a double figure 8, instead of a single figure 8, or get a four bowtie stack, instead of a two bowtie stack. - https://www.solidsignal.com/antennas-direct-clearstream-4-hdtv-antenna-with-j-mount-c4-cjm / https://www.amazon.com/Antennas-Direct-ClearStream-Multi-Directional-Adjustable/dp/B00SVNKT86 (leave off the VHF part) / https://www.amazon.com/Antennas-Direct-ClearStream-Multi-directional-Installation/dp/B008PBTPOI - https://www.channelmaster.com/collections/tv-antennas/products/ultratenna-60-outdoor-tv-antenna-cm-4221hd (could potentially pick up the https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=72054#station VHF-HI signal sub-channels well enough)

Some general antenna information that you'll hopefully find helpful, including antenna recommendations: https://www.reddit.com/r/cordcutters/comments/1juut0a/supplement_to_the_antenna_guide You also need to use a signal meter (built-in feature with many different tv's and external tuner devices), since just looking at the picture and noting the number of channels the scan picks up doesn't really tell you anything about how good your reception is: https://www.reddit.com/r/cordcutters/comments/1g010u3/centralized_collection_of_antenna_tv_signal_meter Just running the RabbitEars report for your location isn't going to make everything work. The helpful aspect of the RabbitEars report is that it gives you an indication of what kind of tv reception situation you're in. Your problem is that your Atlanta transmitters are around 56 miles away, and you're dealing with a ton of terrain being in the way. If you want to make one more hail Mary attempt, you could try a ClearStream 4, connected with an RG-6 coax cable and connected to a next gen (ATSC 3.0) tv tuner. https://www.solidsignal.com/antennas-direct-clearstream-4-hdtv-antenna-with-j-mount-c4-cjm / https://www.amazon.com/Antennas-Direct-ClearStream-Multi-Directional-Adjustable/dp/B00SVNKT86 (leave off the VHF part) / https://www.amazon.com/Antennas-Direct-ClearStream-Multi-directional-Installation/dp/B008PBTPOI The figure 8 elements and reflector cages connected to each other would hopefully be able to sit on a flat surface, without needing the mast. Assuming your tv doesn't have a built-in ATSC 3.0 tuner, see the Additional Topics->ATSC 3.0 external tuner boxes section in the 1st linked post. Also note that CBS is only available as a current gen (ATSC 1.0) channel, so if that antenna is only able to pick up ATSC 3.0 channels (if you get lucky), you'll be out of luck with picking up CBS OTA.
