Default Antenna in the attic question

Having made dozens of ham antennae over the last 40 years in
configurations that probably violate the laws of physics and having had them work, I,
personally, haven't found that such a difference in the antenna placement makes a
hill of beans worth of REAL difference (no pun). But a lot of guys here
have been doing this for 40 years also, and I'd really like to see what anyone
has to say about it.....

If the antennas you're talking about really did work, you did not
violate any laws of physics, I can assure you. :-)

I operated with in-attic antennas for years and they do work
surprisingly well. I earned DXCC with 100 watts and an attic dipole in
a matter of a few months.

Go for it.
