Default Attic Antennas and Foil Backed Barriers

Frank,

Unfortunately, the results are very much of the "it depends" nature. A
good friend in a condo with a similar situation does very well for
short hops with a dipole and remote tuner in the attic, with some
occasional DX thrown in on PSK31. With the "ground" so close, he is
mostly seeing NVIS propagation into adjacent states. However, it is
the only option due to the HOA.

He has one of those XM radios which can be used in the car or house.
The only place it would work in the house was inconveniently near a
window until he cut out a section of the insulation backing directly
above the desired location. Works fine now.
