Wayne, If you have no choice and have to use an antenna in the attic placed close to the rafters, I would suggest that you do use iinsulators to prevent any part of the antenna touching a rafter. A fire risk could exist if the antenna's wire is simply laid on the rafters, especially if using higher power on several bands.
Welcome to the hobby, and have fun!! 73, Geoff GM4ESD (Licensed 1946) On April 12, 2011 at 12:11 AM, Wayne Conrad wrote: <snip> > I don't know whether I need to keep the antenna wire off of the rafters > with insulators, or can I just let it lay there.
