Before you spend money at TinLee.com (who you would contact for current price information) You will want to find out if you can receive WQPX from inside or outside your attic.

You indicate you have already attempted with the HD7082P which is spec'd at 12.2 dBd gain on UHF channel 32. If you have not seen any signal from the WQPX at this point, you need to take the existing antenna outside for a test. The largest consumer grade UHF antennas will only offer 2 to 4 more dB of gain, so I doubt you would get a reliable signal in the attic using an Antennas Direct XG-91 or Winegard HD9095P. By searching with your existing antenna, outdoors, you can determine if you have any chance of reception of WQPX, before spending money on additional hardware.

The path profile for WQPX is 2-edge... that can (though not always) make things difficult.
