Yes, there are issues to consider, as you mentioned, about the placement of an antenna in an attic space. The next time I'm up there, I might do some more surveying to see if there is a sweeter spot. However, I am limited on space up there given the air handler, duct work, etc. Of course, the beauty of an attic install is the fact that it can last a lifetime as you mentioned since it is protected from the elements.

As mentioned, this antenna is doing great in the attic, with only one exception of the channel I've mentioned. I might give the pre-amp a try sometime. Are there any concerns that need to be given to an pre-amp installed in the attic? Obviously, we all know that attic temperatures can get very hot during the summer months. So if that is a risk factor, then I'd rather forget it.

As for signal meters, I've discovered that my bedroom Panasonic 37 inch LED has a built in meter. Now I am curious, is there a general (minimum) signal level that is needed to prevent pixelations and dropouts? If I knew the answer to this, it might help me with the reception on WGHP.

PS The outside wall in the attic space is only wood and vinyl siding. I am sure that has probably added to my success level on every other channel.
