Hi John,

I had a similar problem and initially tried a Buddipole dipole in the
attic. It worked but not too well and also flooded the house with RFI.
I then switched to a screwdriver antenna hidden in a rubbermaid shed
and it works fine. See: http://www.qrz.com/w4tqt

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
