This is my signal analysis: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d8e038a03d30b2b

Network channels appear real close - 9.9Miles.

What would be a good outdoor antenna for this situation.

Thank you.

With that sort of signal, some of your finer paper clips would suffice!

Realistically, an inexpensive old fashion, UNamplified, indoor bunny-ear/ loop combo is all you will likely require.:)

Unless you have serious multi-path or wire mesh siding an outdoor antenna might provide too much signal and cause overload. But I will digress to the experts on that...

ANT-751 could work in the attic.

Ok that is great. I have used this antenna before on other installs. How about picking up some of the other channels with this setup in the attic (re: the ones about 18 miles away).

Thanks for the responses.

I would aim for the farther away stations with the ANT-751 as the stations out of Shoreview will probably be received no matter what azimuth the antenna is facing (in the attic).
