Attics can be tough...

The best location for reception is rarely in the attic. I would suggest you move the antenna(s) outside, clear of obstructions.

If that's not an option you're open to, before you add any more amplification, you need to consider upgrading your VHF reflector to a more capable High-VHF antenna. While the Antennas Direct VHF reflector is a very good product, it simply lacks the gain that you need in your application.

I'd suggest the Antennas Direct ClearStream 5 or the Antennacraft Y10713. The Y10713 is quite long, another possible solution may be found in the shorter Y5713.
