My perspective is the elevation most suited to success is one that gets you above the trees. These signal strengths are misleading with full foliage in the pathway. Think of trees as reflectors and ginsu knives. They are bouncing and gashing the signal before it even makes it to your antenna. The antenna can't receive signals that plainly aren't there or has been weakened so much by obstructions that it isn't decodable.

If I were installing at your location I would be looking hard at a 75 foot tower or taller.

Any attempt at 25' or in the attic has the potential to do nothing but frustrate you.

... Just calling it as a I see it.
