Which stations, other than those in a generally northerly direction, are on your "must have" list? Which are on the "like to have but not too important" list?.
We would like to reliably receive channels 25.x, 49.x, 66.x, 12.x, 46.x, 4.x, 40.x, and 5.x

Anything beyond that we would consider a bonus.

What are the surroundings outside your attic like? Can you achieve relatively unobstructed views in the requisite signal path(s)?
The satellite view pretty much shows obstructions every way we look (mainly trees). I'm not sure how clear the path has to be in order to compensate with a stronger antenna, but we live on 2 acre lot with trees blocking a clear path to the transmitters within 40 ft. in all directions except for eastward.(not good)

These trees are pretty mature and probably well over 30ft tall.

The "Flatwave" antenna picked up the stations that we wanted when placed in a specific area of our living room, but wasn't usable because of limited mounting options.

Is the reason that the Flatwave worked because of the fact its winter (no leaves)?

Is there hope for any antenna combination?
