We would like to reliably receive channels 25.x, 49.x, 66.x, 12.x, 46.x, 4.x, 40.x, and 5.x
25.x, WEYI NBC & CW, NM 56.3 dB, 22 degrees
49.x, WAQP Ind, NM 54.8 dB, 329 degrees
66.x, WSMH Fox, NM 53.4 dB, 327 degrees
12.x, WJRT ABC, NM 41.4 dB, 330 degrees
46.x, WBSF CW & NBC, NM 35.3 dB, 1 degree
4.x, WDIV NBC, NM 6.3 dB, 136 degrees; you don't need that, you already have 2 NBCs
40.x, ? I don't see that; what is the callsign?
5.x, WNEM CBS, NM 32.2 dB, 1 degree

Is the reason that the Flatwave worked because of the fact its winter (no leaves)?
That often helps. It also has a built in preamp. A preamp can make it possible to receive channels that are 5 dB weaker.



Try the C2V in a temporary setup in the attic in several locations with the antenna aimed about 350 degrees true, 357 magnetic. If that doesn't work, add a preamp like the Antenna Direct Juice or Channel Master 7778. The 7777 would probably be overloaded.

If that doesn't work, you will have to go outside and higher.
