The roof is a plywood deck with asphalt shingles. It's a pre-constructed truss roof as well, so while there's lot of space, there's lots of 2x4s as part of the structure.

I would prefer to mount the antenna in the attic. HOA/City doesn't require it, but I would rather not attach it to the outside.

Is there a reason for the antenna you recommended instead of something more like the ClearStream 4 (or a similar bowtie type antenna)? Only reason I ask is I'm currently using an antenna very similar to the one you mentioned. It's very difficult to get into the right spot (I just came down from fighting with it to pickup a station, which I can't because of the truss layout), and it seemed like one of the bowtie style antennas would be significantly easier to manage in the attic. I think the only VHF channel I have to contend with is CBS, which is at the high end.

Just curious. Thanks!
