Default Best 144/440 Antenna for Attic Installation

Rather than punching a hole in the roof to accommodate your attic co-linear,
how about the ELK 2m/440 log periodic or Cushcraft A270-6s. A small Yagi is
not so directional that you can't use it for the local stuff while pointing
it yonder for a few weak ones.


I want to be able to hit a dozen or so repeaters in different directions, so I don't want a
directional antenna.

I believe I have enough height in the attic for the X50A. If I measure and come up short, I will
get the X30A instead.
