Attic antenna installation

Hi,
I am installing an antenna in my attic at about 30' above ground level. Most of the channels that I am interested in receiving are about 40 miles away at a 30 degree heading. I have an RG6 75ohm quad shielded coax cable with a copper clad steel conductor run from my attic to my lower level to a single digital TV. The total distance is about 90 feet of cable.

I tried the Antennas Direct DB8 multidirectional antenna with a Winegard ANWI8700 preamplifier, but all I received was channel 30 with a maximum of 56% signal strength coming from Goldvein, VA, which is about 12 miles away.

I am hoping that someone on this forum can help me choose the best antenna for my purposes. I know that attic installation is not ideal, but my HOA won't allow outside installation. Here is my TVfool analysis: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...0b8673335f174d

Please advise.
