Does a preamp require power? I'm guessing it does. I still may need to tweak the antenna to see if they come in clearer but if something powered would help I have some lines in the attic that feed a plug I never use that I could splice into and put a plug in the attic wall.

Yes, a pre-amp does require power. I have an equipment closet on the second floor for my network and home theater gear and originally planned to put the antenna in there as well but I never could get all of the stations in the area. I finally moved the antenna to a section of the attic that had no obstructions other than the roof between the antenna and the stations. All of the stations now come in like gangbusters, even the ones at the fringe compass points. This is the antenna I have, about $38 at amazon. I have it attached to an articulating arm TV wall mount so I can aim it and have it stay in place.
