Sounds promising, HRK
How high was your test antenna? One trick you might try, that folks use to test surveillance camera install locations, is stick a 2x4 in a bucket of rocks with an antenna atop that. You should easily be able to try that with one of those ANT75x', which you should be able to pick up at a local HD.
On your permanent installation, I'd recommend going to the added expense and trouble of using good coax. See: Home TV Antenna (Free Signal) Question/Help Please for discussion on that and connectorization.
Do it once, do it right
It's about 4 ft off the floor on a counter, facing south and on the back of the house outside, so it's facing through the house.
Figured If this worked decent than a better antenna mounted in the attic much higher, and clear of the concrete structure of the home would be an improvement...
Coax we'll use is the coax that's there, I agree on better product use is optimum but I'm not crawling through the attic for TV signal, probably put my big butt through the ceiling and that will cost more than a year of DTV
