Based on your report, the 7694 is plenty of antenna, outdoors, clear of obstructions. The Winegard antenna can be difficult to re-fold... That can be a problem if you try it in the attic and then conclude it needs to move outside.

The Antennacraft HBU series antennas are easier to re-fold.

I'd have no problem using the larger HBU-44... Added antenna gain is better than amplifier gain because any amplifier will add noise and distortion to the signal. Antenna gain does not suffer that impairment.

I would avoid an antenna mounting location that forces me to aim into either my neighbors or my structure.

If you want to have a shot at receiving KHIZ-LD on real CH-2, and any other L-VHF signal that's out there, consider the HD1800, HD1850 and HD7084P.
