I am a new licensee, but looking at the dates of postings, it looks a pretty dead forum.
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.
