That you see more than two stations with your attic mounted antenna is quite remarkable. The data from your TVF report indicates that you would need to use the largest antennas available. An Antennas Direct XG91 or Winegard HD99095P would cover real channels 14 and up. An Antennacraft Y10713 or Winegard YA-1713 would provide reception of real channels 7 through 13.
I would recommend mounting these outside, in the clear where they can intercept the best available signal. Higher will be better, within the limits of safety and budget.
A dual input preamp such as the Winegard AP-2870 or Antennacraft 10G221 would serve to combine the signal and overcome loss in cable and splitters.
You would need to experiment with aim between 131° and 119° to find the most reliable signal from the available stations. The ...713 antennas are for high-VHF reception. The UHF and high-VHF should be mounted with at least 4' of separation from one another.
There are combination antennas available, but they do not have quite as much gain in the UHF band as the two UHF antennas I'm recommending. KCOY is on real channel 19 which is a source of confusion for some folks who only see the virtual channel number 12.1. Your best chance at receiving real channel 19, given your signal report, is with one of the large UHF antennas.
