QuoteThat antenna is probably overkill. I have a slightly smaller, shorter with fewer elements, antenna and I'm about 10X farther away from the broadcast towers. Although having tress in the way may degrade the signal a little.  :-/  If you can get it into the attic and unfold it it should be fine. Be certain to ground the coax cable using a coax grounding block.

Did you try the Solid Signal website for a recommendation on the antenna?

Overkill in my middle name. :D Can't hurt reception and I'm willing to pay the $60 bucks.

I have not done the solidsignal thing but will. Thanks.

An antenna amplifier can really improve the signal also if that hasn't been mentioned -- and while you are at it why not put and electric in attic antenna rotator also. :)

Just a note. Trees do suck up a lot of signal. A lot more than you would think.
But it does depend on the frequency and I am not that knowledgeable about
TV. We were testing the propogation of our wireless network devices and it turned
out that the trees interfeared more than some of the building walls.
