With his antenna matching unit providing an acceptable match he s on the air making contacts.
Attic loop antenna.
I am soon to replace my smaller gauge wire with 8 speaker wire.
On vhf a beam antenna can work well in the attic even a rotator can be used.
Again stay away from metal and wires to maintain your pattern.
Another local uses an hf loop antenna tacked up around the circumference of the ceiling of a second floor bedroom.
Dipole and long wire antennas can also be used with mobile outdoor style auto tuners feeding them in an attic space.
On hf wire beams can be run on the roof supports or the rafters these usually are good for one direction only but can be switched electrically for different coverage.
The best attic antenna performs equally well inside and outside able to pick up a quality signal from a great range and lets you enjoy quality tv entertainment without paying a cable subscription.
Use heavy gauge wire to minimize losses.
Put as much wire in your attic as you can run in the shape of a loop.
It s a long way from the rabbit ear designs you might think of when picturing indoor antennas and much cooler looking than the metal contraptions often found outdoors.
