Keep in mind that absorption by the walls, roof, etc. increases with frequency. That's why a microwave oven will heat your dinner but no amount of 40 meter signal will do a thing for it.
Still, I've had good success with a J-pole in the attic. No weak signal DX work, but a good local signal. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike WA8BXN Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 11:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Antennas in the attic Remember things are different on VHF/UHF bands. Its often FM which reduces noise problems to some extent, and the wavelengths are shorter and get out between conductors a lot better than HF. 73 - Mike WA8BXN ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
