Did you try the DB8 or DB8e?
Indoor mounting, including attic mounting is very unlikely to yield satisfactory results based on your report.
Have you tested reception outside, in the clear? If so, what antenna and accessories were used and what were the results?
Mileage estimates are not as accurate a tool as the gain specification. Mileage estimates are usually good faith estimates based on some unspecified assumptions... Gain values provided by the reputable antenna manufactures are based on repeatable measuring methods. You need as much passive antenna gain as you can get... Less gain is the wrong direction to be headed in.
Yes, the Y10713 is larger than many other antennas. It boils down to, do you want to have a chance at seeing the H-VHF signals from the Sutro Tower Complex?
