WESH is slightly weaker than other stations in your area, and the 751 antenna would be marginal for your situation, even if mounted on the roof.

Because of Florida building codes, you necessarily have a lot of structure in your attic that limits the size and placement of an antenna. Many homes in Florida were also built with foil-backed insulation and aluminium siding, which are very detrimental to indoor or attic reception.

If you are willing, I would suggest roof mounting an antenna, which will get you clear of the attic obstructions and aiming restrictions. As for an antenna, I believe that you need a better VHF antenna than the 751, as WESH operates on channel 11, which is your weakest network station in your location. I would suggest roof-mounting a Stellar Labs 30-2475 VHF high-band yagi on the roof along with the 33-2230 antenna combiner, which would mount in your attic and connect the two antennas. You'll need to run RG-6 cable from the Stellar Labs to the combiner, and aim the antenna at 114 degrees by your compass: this should solve your problem on WESH without installing two antennas on the roof.
