Two antennas in my attic: FM yagi works quite well, and VHF-UHF hybrid does a real good job too, even at 60 miles in deep fringe. The FM has a Magnum Dynalab Signal Sleuth preselector amp (located at the tuner) which helps even more although not necessary for good results - just better results. The TV ant has a Winegard +28db wideband preamp installed right at the antenna head, which also serves as the 300 to 75 ohm impdeance matching balun. Using good coax with both: RG-6 quad shield. I estimate the height above ground is about 20 feet. Use bailing twine to suspend from the rafters, tied around a couple of nails, so as not to degrade signal strength (as compared to hanging from any kind of metallic wire material).
