Do you think I can get CHCH directing right panel (Hamilton 208 magnetic direction) of the antenna ?
It is just before experimenting I would like to hear your opinion.

Attic is bad. That antenna has something like 15-18dB gain, depending on frequency, with both panels pointed in the same direction, but it drops to around 8-10dB gain at 30 degrees (60 between them), which is a pretty big difference.
Roof/wall losses and attic reflections certainly aren't helping, especially when trying for a station with 2-edge refraction. I'd move it outdoors, and move it around (and up and down) to find a location that works before putting any holes in the structure.
