I like challenges of attics; Just for fun, place centeral point of antenna at center of ridge in the attic [assume ridge runs north & south for this discussion] on north side of center point to to ne corner on right; come back up along roof line to center point; from there go along roof line to nw corner; now bring with back to center connector.
Now facing south got to SW corner; run antenna long roof line to center ridge; down roof line to SE corner; from there back to center feed point. If you have a 45 degree roof line you should be in the neighborhood of 80' dipole so you, your antenna, and tuner should have a great time. I have worked a lot in a 39' roof line attic. 73 Chuck AA8VS -- ______ _______/ Chuck \_________ | | | www.aa8vs.org/aa8vs | ================================ The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." -- William Arthur Ward -------------- Original message -------------- From: barry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I live in an upstairs flat (apartment in us!), and have a small loft > space about 23ft long at the ridge and about the same across. > > Would a KAT100 tuner be able to tune a random length dipole strung along > the ridge? > > If not can you suggest an alternative antenna that would, I am seriously > limited in my options for aerials as you can see. > > Any advice most welcome ...
