Hello Superbrew,

You've run into one of the reasons we don't recommend attic installations. Only strong to moderate signals can "punch" through the solid material of your roof.

WFXT is about 23db in signal strength which is trending weak. The TV fool report shows you the yellow color is indicative of what you might see in an attic installation. You'll notice WFXT is down towards the bottom.

Generally anything below 25db signal strength in an attic is going to be hit and miss. In this case, WFXT is a miss.

If you are stuck in the attic, which it sounds like you are - you need to go bigger, especially with UHF.

I tend to go overkill in attics just because I know when you mount in an attic you reduce signal strengths considerably. Disclaimer: Even with the a strong, high gain UHF antenna, you can still have problems with reception due to the hostile conditions within an attic.

My antenna of choice would be:

1: Antennas Direct DB8e orientated to magnetic 171.

Good that you wish to ignore the NH stations, you can focus your antenna exclusively on Boston.
