No to your question, but why? Wire would work every bit as well..
"Roger Gt" wrote in message om... Some time ago I obtained a roll of 6 mil thick 10 inch wide aluminum sheet at a bargain. I intended to use it for an antenna in my attic. I would use plastic clothes hangers as supports stapled to the rafters. When I mentioned I was finally going to get it installed, a friend told me that the sheet won't make a good antenna. There is plenty of room for a bent dipole so I ask why he thought it wouldn't work. His answer was that the thin edges would have a corona discharge and might set fire to the house. I considered it nonsense, but I wonder -- Running only 100 Watts. Is there any reason that a thin sheet of the proper length would be unsuitable as an antenna for "indoor" use? Thanks for you insightful comments. K7DUP |
