If the signal path was through trees and reception went faulty particularly when it rained, the problem is the trees. A different antenna is unlikely to change that.

The short answer is "no". Your odds of success are probably close to zero, especially in an attic. Out of the attic and with the best available gear, not too much better. You're back in a valley...

No on the antenna, yes on the amp.
I'd go with a ClearStream 5 by itself aimed at Quincy or perhaps, just a bit to the north from that line (yes, there is a reason). It should pick up the two...

The CM-3020 is a large all-channel design. As there are no low-VHF stations in your area and none likely to ever exist, you should not need an antenna with low-VHF capability. You could use it, but...

If the FM signals are overwhelmingly strong relative to the digital channel 6 signal, the tuner can't sort it out. Nothing you can really do about it easily, depending on the operating...

Those are both examples of incomplete markings that don't include the diode symbols. Sat splitters have to pass power from any of the "output"" ports back to the "input" port so the receiver can...
