I'd personally be very leery of a screen-less bow-tie type antenna in an attic, since we have no idea of the multipath conditions that may exist in the attic. HVAC ducting, foil-backed insulation, stucco exterior walls or aluminum siding can play havoc with any indoor or attic-mounted antenna. If you want to insure proper reception of all of the Pittsburgh and Youngstown stations, use a Winegard HD-7694P or an AntennaCraft HBU-33 or HBU-44 mounted on an antenna rotator like a Channel master 9521a or an AntennaCraft TDP-2 on the highest part of your roof: you may be able to get away with less, but there is no way to know for sure based on your TVFool.com report.
