winegard antenna

Okay, I am back again. Still trying to get reception in Port Ludlow, WA. I installed the Winegard 7698 and cpa-19 amplifier in my attic. Unfortunately, with poor results. I have tried it in a couple of different locations and at varying angles from 120 magnetic to 155 magnetic. I get FOX ( ch 13 ) and ch 28 well, but no Seattle stations. The truss system in the attic is like a wooden spider web. Could this be breaking up the reception? Also due to space limitations, I can only get the antenna about 20 ft above the ground. I am considering taking the antenna outside and trying it on the roof to try for better reception. I was hoping not to have to put on the roof because of fussy neighbors. Any suggestions?

MR

PS - the antenna is suspended from the rafters with nylon cord. is this good or bad?
