Antenna under Roof | d.lowrey@cox.net | 6 days, 19 hours ago |
Hello, I am a new Tech KK7NTU, but will be moving up to General in the fall. With that in mind, I am thinking about how to get a decent DX antenna in the space under the roof. Here is the problem. Our house is within an HOA located in the southwestern US. Single story house with a truss system roof, concrete roof tiles, meaning there is no attic and very little space to squeeze my body to move around under the roof. I am thinking that I can get a wire near the roof peak in a north-east, south-west orientation with a length of about 30'. Also, I might be able to run a second antenna at 90 degrees to the previously described, but with a length of only about 20 feet. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Tune for what bands, designs and maybe post a link to an information source. Thank you for taking time to answer. KK7NTU |
