Hi. If I want to talk abrefoot and run a dipole for 27 MHz in my attic, I
noticed there are numerous versions. The vertical is out for obvious reasons. So
there are inverted and horizontal. Is there any version I am better off using
barefoot?

The only obvious answer is to use an outside antenna even if it's a
18" mobile antenna mounted on a gutter. Use a disguised antenna if
need be. Having a inside antenna is problematic and is job specific as
to whether it will perform satisfactorily.

Here is my problem. I live out in the woods. I would love to hang an antenna in
a tree behind my yard, but I would have to bury and trench the coax in excess of
about 100-150 feet. And that include hopping over a small 2 foot creek. I have a
ranch, which is long and ideal for a dipole. I eventually will run a cable and
hang an antenna out there, but I just want to do something in the meantime.
