You won't see the Joplin stations reliably with an antenna in the attic: you really need a fringe-area antenna mounted on the roof. If you only plan to have one TV set attached to the antenna, then a fringe-area VHF-high-band plus UHF antenna mounted on a rotator is the right choice for you. The Clearstream 4 antenna is NOT a good choice because it does NOT do VHF, and Joplin has VHF transmitters on channels 7 and 10. If this was my installation, I would install a Winegard HD-7697P on the roof along with a good rotator like a Channel Master 9521a and a high-imput preamplifier like a Winegard HDP-269 or an AntennasDirect CPA-19. The antenna with rotator and preamp would power up to 4 TV sets when used with the correct coaxial cable splitter installed in the line after the preamplifier power supply, but remember that when your antenna is aimed at Joplin that you may experience some degradation in the reception of your Ft Smith stations.
