I have been refused permission for any kind of outdoor Antenna due to the
area in which I live in the UK having "permitted development rights
removed"
I think that this may be a conservation area. Having recently passed the
foundation course I am getting impatient - and dissapointed to say the
least.
I am now faced with only one or two alternatives - an Indoor or Loft
Antenna. I realise that this may restrict me to 2m only but at least it
will be better than nothing - or to operate mobile only.
Has anyone on the group got any suggestions ? I have a fair sized loft
with approx. 2.5m headroom, which runs the whole width of the
house -almost 30ft. - is there anything I use in the loft like a loop
Antenna for instance ? Or a fixed Station Antenna ?

Thaks for your help

John,
If you string a wire antenna outside, can they do anything to you other than
have you take it down? Some people in your position have gotten away with
it. You could also put a 20 m vertical inside a plastic pipe, and call it a
flagpole; radials might get a little touchy.
