Glad to hear you were able to improve your situation.

In the attic, a CS-5 is an obvious contender based on size and shape.

An Antennacraft Y5713 is another option. Far more manageable size than the YA10713 or Y10713 (5' long vs. 10')

The two are within about 1 dB of each other...

The CS-5 or Y5713 outside the attic would offer WLOS (13) at a net NM of 40 dB... If you are able to find a sweet spot in your attic, WLOS should be reliable.
