Advice on my best antenna options - Medford MA

Thanks to all at TVFool for this valuable resource!

Here's my radar plot: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...5b94826bd1e1b6

Interesting how the antenna height affects the dB losses due to edge diffraction.

Looks like I will get all the Boston market stations easily. There seem to be two other groups of stations that I might receive, from either Rhode Island or New Hampshire.

Initially I thought I would use an attic antenna, but a roof mount might be worthwhile if I could pull in several more stations.

Is there a moderate sized fixed roof-mount antenna that would pull in some of these outlying stations? What chance do I have to receive RI or NH with an attic antenna? Not a lot of room in my attic, so it would have to be a compact configuration, or a long boom would have to be close to SE-NW orientation.
