Hello Folks,
After much reading I installed an Antennas Direct ClearStream 2V aimed at about magnetic 130 in the attic above my 2 story condo. I'm using a single run of about 100' of brand new RG6 quad shield cable with compression connectors. Also, as there are some very strong FM transmitters about 3 miles away from me in the direction of the OTA transmitters, I installed a Radio Shack 15-024 FM Trap about 3 feet away from the antenna. I'm getting rock solid reception on almost all channels with a few exceptions.
NBC (VHF 11) is weird, and the station I'd most like to improve. Sometimes it comes in clear as a bell, sometimes with a lot of stuttering and dropouts, and sometimes it's completely gone. Without the FM Trap this station doesn't come in at all. Anything I can do to improve its reliability?
Also, there are two UHF stations that TV Fool says I should receive that don't show up at all during a channel scan, KTSF (UHF 27) and KAXT (UHF 42). While I'm not hugely attached to getting either of these, are there any thoughts on how I can get them? Or any of the other stations I'm not currently receiving?
I tried the ANT751R and reception was not as good as the C2V. I also tried the RCA TVPRAMP1R with the FM Trap on and reception was comparable to just the Radio Shack FM Trap. I'd prefer to keep the antenna in the attic as opposed to the roof for aesthetic reasons.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I've also attached a small spreadsheet showing the channels I'm currently receiving and their SNR reported by my tuner.
