The HBU-33 is a good choice. The Antennacraft HD850 would be better. A Winegard HD7082P would be a premium choice, but if you have trouble once it's in the attic, it can be difficult to fold back down if you want to move it outside. The Antennacraft is relatively easy to unlock and refold.

The 850 and 7082 would offer reception of WOCK, real channel 4 which carries several several sub-channels, including America One, a sports channel. The other sub-channels carry Korean and Spanish language programing.

Certainly try from in the attic. The construction you describe sounds favorable. The signal strength indicated on your TVFR says you should have little difficulty receiving WBBM. Unless there is some hidden metal in the roof or wall, I think the shot through the gable end will work well for you.
