General Radio Discussion / Re: Attic Antenna
« on: March 26, 2008, 0055 UTC »
I have a number of attic antenna's.
2 things I do have going for them- the ONLY AC line in attic is one to garage door opener and it ws easy to stay clear of, And I ran the lines down inside the wall of my radio-computer room away from power lines in the wall.
I have 3 Dipoles all fed with Coax and they do ok - they are a bit quieter than the Long Wires, but not as sensitive.
3 long wires - they are all between 90 and 110 ft long and the wires run straight down the wall and to radios.
(3 Discones, 1 Yagi and an ARA60 Active antenna also)
The ARA60 does a nice job but not as good as it would if it was roof mounted - they like to be mounted 8 ft above ANY surface to work best)
The long wires do a decent job - but not quite as good as a 68 ft Long wire I have outdoors. (It has plain wire feed also and does have too much noise as well - I need to make a few Baluns or buy a couple.
So - all in all you can have a decent attic antenna if you can stay clear of AC lines in your feeds.
You would be able to have them with less noise if you fed with Coax via a Balun
