In the short term, I will put up a smaller directional antenna to get the local channels so I can cancel DirectTV. I will let you all know what I go with and what the results are.
If rotate means 'adjust the aim during the installation process, that's a valid concern. If you're thinking of a rotator unit, your TV Fool report indicates there is no hope of receiving the distant Chicago or Madison signals with any size antenna inside the attic. A rotator in the attic would be of no benefit.

But you'll enjoy very good reception of the local signals.
