I read a thread recently about "Loft Antennas". And I will most likely
be facing a similar situation, putting antennas in my attic because of
HOA restrictions. I wonder how a mag mount would work installed in an
attic with a lead to my shack? How about if I placed a four foot
diameter piece of sheet metal on the attic floor and put the mag mount
in the center? Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
