I just moved into the city and have an old house with a big attic. There
is really no place on the lot (very small 2500 sg ft lot) to put any
antennas. The attic is the third floor the peak being 30-35 feet above
ground. There is no metal in the attic accept one condiut for a light and
the cast iron soil pipes for venting the drains.

I have an AH-2 tuner that I am hoping I can make work with my kenwood TS-
690S. I do have a little ICOM 760 mobile that I will use if I absolutely
have to but that's really for my car (not currently installed).

I do have the manual but it's not helpful. I did google this but really
didn't find anything.

So any thoughts on antenna placement strait or loop? For strait I can go
50' Also should I run COAX from the main floor to the tuner in the attic
and use the cast iron soil pipe as ground OR should I have my 50' straight
and then bring the antenna on the outside of the building down to ground
level (inverted L) and keep the AH-2 in or very near the shack?

Thanks,
