Attic mounting would not be my first choice. I would much prefer to mount on the roof, clear of neighboring trees and buildings.
If I use the TV Fool data provided in your first post, I'd start by pointing a Winegard HD7698P equipped with an Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp at about 45° (compass) then fine tune the aim to see if I can get KPXM reliably while not loosing any MSP signals I considered important to me.
During the testing phase, I'd also swing the antenna around to point in the direction of Mankato to see if I would be willing to invest in a second antenna dedicated to that direction.
Of course you can try this in the attic, but you'll be limiting your chances.
