Similar problem with a boarded attic too hot in summer, too cold in winter. Fix: (1) remove any lining to expose underside of the roof tiles (2) Spray 125mm (4") of polyurethane expanding foam over the tiles. This (a) locks the tiles & prevents any roof movement (b) keeps out any dust (c) warm in winter (d) cool in summer (e) reduces your heating costs. It is a recognised building treatment & several companies will quote for the work. Best done in summer as fumes can persist for a week or two.
Final thought: if you can put in a velux double skin opening window in the roof with a 180 deg. opening –– preferably near a chimney stack. You can then get at and mount antenna from a pair of steps through the window. You need to install the window before you get the spray. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
