I agree with JC that an amplifier is not indicated - in fact it is contra-indicated.

I'll be curious to see if there is a possibility of FM interference. FM traps are not very expensive, so you may want to simply try one.

JC is also right, that attics can be troublesome places for reliable reception. At least consider testing reception with the antenna outdoors in the clear. A panel antenna is one of the least conspicuous of all antennas... IMO. I applaud your desire to be a good neighbor, but is there a point where one could become a slave to the loudest complainers?

I own three HDHR's, they like to be fed clean fresh RF.
