The cable lengths you've listed are quite manageable, certainly not any reason to have concern.

If your goal is to reliably receive the major network, ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC & PBS, it's doubtful that any attic mounted antenna is going to provide acceptable results. I expect that several of the weaker signals will require a full sized antenna, mounted outdoors, clear of obstructions such as trees and structures.

If I could still find an Antennacraft Y10713 I'd pair it with an Antennas Direct DB8E. The DB8E gives you access to the UHF signals (real channels 14 through 51) and the Y10713 gives you a good shot at real channels 7 through 13. If you can find the Y10713, then a combination antenna such as the Winegard HD7698P is an option to consider.
