I have to agree, an attic mount would be an improvement, but not enough to expect reliable reception. The antenna and mounting suggestion offered by mtownsend is appropriate. I'd expect a high quality preamp such as the Antennas Direct CPA-19 would be needed also.

In addition to the atmospheric conditions and terrain, you are also facing possible interference from distant stations that use the same broadcast frequencies. (All the more reason to use the suggested antenna.)
