Default Stealth antenna idea


I haven't been monitoring the group for a while. Wondering if

anyone
has considered two screwdriver type antennas mounted horizontal in

a
dipole fashion in the attic and appropriate control to acheive a
tuneable attic dipole. stealth in CCR is the motivation.

Sounds like it would work, to me, but if it were me I would use
wire
instead. You can probably place wire more effectively in your

attic
and
just use an SGC antenna coupler to tune it at the feedpoint. Would
probably not only work better, but would be cheaper, too.

Hoo booooey, here we go again....



??? Have I missed something?

I suppose someone has written on the topic before. But is that like a
crime in this group?

I suppose a person might with a lot of effort to synchronise the
screwdrivers, and a whole heck of lot of money for the screwdrivers
themselves, manage to put a really mediocre antenna in their attic!

There are a lot more cost effective solutions out there.

Yeah, Mike. That was my take, and the reason I suggested wire
antenna in attic with an antenna coupler/tuner up there.
