Anything beyond that we would consider a bonus.
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?

I don't really see any issues with being able to pick up those stations except for WDIV NBC 45(4.1). You're saying you got that channel with a flatwave in your living room?
What's wrong with the NBC station next to you?
To get a chance at that channel I doubt the C2V is going to be good enough. I had a similar channel I needed and the C2V wasn't strong enough outside going through a couple trees as well. I ended up with a C4V and its working great. An AD Juice preamp helped (xtra 10% signal) as well but I had a good signal without it but again, I'm on the roof. I think you have a good shot in the attic as long as you don't have metal objects in front of it and aim it at 143 magnetic. But be prepared to move it to the roof.
