yeah i was really lucky to pick up two of those antennas from amazon warehouse for about $35 each and I am 60 miles out .. i point them at two different cities and have a strong amp.. I get VHF pretty good with them .. only 1-3 bars on my tv but its steady all day and night and only flakes once in a long time.
but I waited probably 6 months for those amazon warehouse deals .. I was in no hurry because i only needed to get 4 vhf stations .. the others i could get on my old antenna..
a drill bit like this makes real easy work out of it
this one is a bit expensive i got mine at biglots but idk if you can still get them

main idea is it is long .. and it has that screw tip on the end.. the screw tip if you get it into the 2x4 will pull the drill bit all the way through the wood and you aren't forcing it or pushing.. makes super easy work of it..
when i go through the floor i go into the drywall just above the baseboard molding and tare that area up a bit so the bit has plenty of room to move around then i target the center of the 2x4 and boom its real easy..
for the ceiling i get a nail and drive it through the drywall .. then i get a wire coat hanger and put it up the hole... then i go into the attic and look for the coat hanger and I can see where the top plate 2x4 is and I drill down through it.
its not really difficult but its laborious .. you are climbing up and down and this and that and dealing with insulation .. blah
but then again how often do you need to do it? heh
hardest part for me was trying to install 100 inch antennas in an attic with trusses and its real tight .. you got to plan well heh .. you install it in 3 pieces so you have to decide how can i fish the front in there and point it but then at the back how do i open the rods .. because they are folded ... i am sure my pointing is a bit off and i couldn't get every dipole rod fully open without bending them slightly ... its wedged in there pretty dam good...
and you are doing this while trying to not put a foot through your ceiling ... HA! .. oh its fun heh
