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.

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.

Yup, this is an old dead horse we are beating, several times now...
Peruse the archives over using a pair of mobile whips as a dipole...

OK. Problem with avoiding this is that I do not go back and read
archives everytime I see a post on which I may comment...... I did not
remember seeing this one before....
