Here is my report:

From these stations, I am only interested in receiving: KADN, KATC, KLFY, KLPB, and WVLA. The two issues here are that KLFY is a VHF-HI channel, with all others being UHF, and that WVLA is 46 miles to the east, while all other channels around about 20 miles to the north.
I plan on mounting the antenna in my attic above the carport, and it will be about 15 feet above ground level. My roof is standard shingles, no tile or anything. My cable run from antenna to television won't be more than 50 feet.
I plan on purchasing the HBU22 antenna (

1. Is this the right antenna for the job?
2. Will I need to install a pre-amplifier for the antenna? If so, recommendations on specs?
3. If it is going inside of my attic, do I need to ground the antenna? I know it's recommended for outside installations.
4. When I set up, I'm assuming I will point the antenna east towards the far station, and it should pick up the ones to the north?
5. When mounting in the attic, can I hang it from the ceiling from a mast, instead of mounting the mast on the ground? Just to give me a little extra space to move around?
Please let me know if there is any additional information you need. I really appreciate any advice I can get!
