Putting it indoors would be sacrificing considerable height.
I got 10 years + and still counting, so I think the extra 20 ft height
is well worth it.

If you live - as I do - in an area where ice storms, hurricanes, and
strong
windstorms are all common, attic-locating an antenna can even make for
much more choice in what you make the antenna out of if you are making a
do-it-yourself one. (A commercial broadcast tower a half-mile away blew
down during a major storm several years ago.)

Valid points.
No matter how you look at it, giving up 20 ft is quite a sacfice for a
monitor.
Ice/wind storms in my location - No hurricanes.
