Good Antenna for Attic
 

Looking for a broadband scanner antenna for my attic. Would like 29-900Mhz
receive and TX on 150 & 450Mhz ranges. TX is not that important really.
Any suggestions?

Hi Matt,
the most broadband VHF / UHF receiving antenna, quite easy to build,
is a discone antenna. Search the web for "discone", you will find what
you need.

Here is an antenna for sale on eBay. I am not selling it or recommending
the seller. This is just an example of a very good scanner antenna. Not
good for transmitting, though.

The Radio Shack 25-1300 Mhz discone antenna is relatively cheap. Not
the most robust, but for an attic may be just fine.

If I would also like to listen to satellites flying over head which antenna
would be better?

I like the 2nd one(discone) slightly better since it will likely fit in my
attic better and I can also use it as a TX antenna later on. I have heard
they perform poorly though.
