For the benefit of a future reader, perhaps uncertain of what type antenna to confider, --

The advise against using a large all channel antenna when only UHF signals are available should make 'common sense'. After all, why spend the extra money that offers no additional performance? And why fight with a large antenna that will use space needlessly?

To the point that this particular antenna is already in place, and paid for... more 'common sense'.

To the suggestion that a working antenna be cut... That make no sense to me. The old saying, 'Don't fix it if it ain't broke!' may need to be altered to, "If it's workin', don't break it!".

Finally, I've never met an attic that proved to be a better location for an antenna than the space above the same roof.
