I ended up wiring the antenna from the attic through a closet into the crawl space, then up right next to my music center. The wife is happy because she doesn't notice the wiring or the antenna. And it seems to be working well. I'm going to find out today whether it actually performs better than the Terk powered antenna that I have been using.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I did a comparison between the powered Terk AF-1 and the Britta omni-directional in the attic.
Not only does the attic antenna bring in more usable stations, but all stations seem to come in stronger. There are several which were unlistenable before which now sound pretty good.
I still don't get stations from 100 miles away like some say they do, though. Maybe a directional antenna with a rotator would do that.
Luckily, I have one local jazz/variety station and another one with a different venue every day.
My AM reception is still shaky. I get one talk radio station, with an intermittant hum in the background. I am going to try the CCrane double ferrite loopstick rig for that.
Good to hear!
