I have been refused permission for any kind of outdoor Antenna due to the area in which I live in the UK having "permitted development rights removed" I think that this may be a conservation area. Having recently passed the foundation course I am getting impatient - and dissapointed to say the least. I am now faced with only one or two alternatives - an Indoor or Loft Antenna. I realise that this may restrict me to 2m only but at least it will be better than nothing - or to operate mobile only. Has anyone on the group got any suggestions ? I have a fair sized loft with approx. 2.5m headroom, which runs the whole width of the house -almost 30ft. - is there anything I use in the loft like a loop Antenna for instance ? Or a fixed Station Antenna ? Thaks for your help John M3IIV I have run into this situation twice. Once I installed a multiband - parallel wire - dipole for 10, 15, 20 and 40m and had reasonably good results. The other place I installed a "Slinky dipole" which worked quite well on 10, 15, 20 and 40; but was marginal on 80m. Also had the disadvantage that I had to go up to change bands. Friends facing the same situation have used wire loop around the outside of the house, and a hinged vertical which lay behind a fence and only came up after dark. Good luck Dave |
