BW,

My comment on the EWE In-the-Attic.
[My Bad :]

Actually if a section of the Attic has a
straight run (line) Peak-to-Peak with out-side Walls and Cover Eaves.
A Ground Rod could be place at the base of one Wall and a Wire Antenna
Element run up the Wall to the Peak. Drill a Hole and use an Insulator
in the Wall near the Peak under the Eaves. Run the Wire through the
Attic to the other Peak and do the same thing in Reverse on the other
side Wall.
and you be eweing in-the-attic on a saturday night ~ RHF
