Antenna Recommendation - between two markets

Hello,

I'm located between two markets - Milwaukee at 92 degrees, and Madison at 266 degrees. Interested in getting the major networks. My complexities are as follows:

-No one else in my neighborhood has antennas and our roofs are quite visible, so I'd prefer to place ours in the attic. Over my attached garage I have a very large opening that can easily accommodate up to a 20'd (E to W) by 12'w (N to S) antenna without interfering with trusses. This opening faces east-west, with the east end going through a gable, so only vinyl siding to worry about. The roof is asphalt shingles.

-East of my location about 200' is a small hill that is heavily wooded - peak height of tree tops is probably 80'.

-I'll be splitting the antenna to two TVs, both that would require about 80ft of RG6, but also to a dual tuner HDhomerun. This I can locate in the attic with the antenna and just redistribute its output through CAT6.

I know an attic isn't the best location - but is there something that is likely to work? I ran the tvfool report at 16 ft, but could likely get the antenna a bit higher if it is less wide (have 70 in wide at 20' high off the ground).

Appreciate your thoughts!

The OTA= Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels.

Are Weak Signal Strength at your location.

Here is the Federal Antenna Law that says Yes a Tv antenna of Any Size can be installed Above the Roof in a manner that provides Reliable Reception.

Reliable reception - does not included - hiding the antenna - or using using a antenna that is so small that reliable reception will not happen.

If you choose to install above the roof in a manner that provides Reliable Reception.

I will provide information of antenna and antenna system that will provide Reliable Reception of the Major Network Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels. And many more Tv stations/channels will be received also along with the Major Networks because the Tv stations are there to receive.
