Extreme fringe reception -6 DB to -19 DB

Hey guys

I have an attic mounted crap combo antenna and I get all the canadian stations that are available and the closer US stations. But I'm interested in getting seattle and other us stations that are ~ 110 miles away with 2edge interference. (And some others are tropo).

Can anyone recommend antenna(s) to do this? If I can't get a decent # the project probably isn't worth doing so I'm really hemming and hawing and wondering what will be possible.

I'm also a little confused about stacking. It seems like I should be able to add the gains of two identical antennas together, but I've read that the max increase would be another 3 DB for doubling the antenna. !!!

Anyways, please give me your best advice on how many of the grey US ONLY stations that I might be able to get. There's also a slight wrinkle in the channel distribution, with 2 being VHF-HI and the rest UHF.

Here's my tvfool, done at 40 feet which would be about 10 feet up off my roof.

Thanks for any suggestions!!
