I currently use a homemade db4 like
THIS inside the living room. It does okay for the DC stations but is very sensitive to direction. I currently have it sitting on a chair which is a bit unsightly. I would like to upgrade to a traditional antenna and mount it in the attic so I can use a rotor and pick up Baltimore stations as well.
Here is my tvfool:

My house is on top of a hill and has no near obstacles. The roof is conventional shingles over old style construction rafters so my attic is open and large enough to accomodate a larger antenna. I need to be able to point to 126-145* for DC and 84-92* for Balto.
I have been looking at the winegard antennas, either the hd7694, hd7697, or hd7698. I am about 50 miles from Balto. With being in the attic will I be forced to the larger 7698 or will one of the smaller antennas work? Also the run from the antenna to my TV will only be about 20', do I need a pre-amp to cover that distnace?
