Another totally baffling recommendation from John Candle: Why would you use a UHF-only antenna when there is an important VHF high-band station in the market? No one would ever recommend using a UHF antenna in such a situation, especially in an attic situation where there is NO DIRECT line of sight!

I suggest using a VHF-high-band plus UHF antenna like an AntennaCraft HBU-33 or a Winegard HD-7694P mounted in the attic, suspended in such a way that it can be fully extended and not have the elements touching any surrounding materials. Aim the antenna at 135 degrees by using a compass, and you will see all the R-D stations.
