10 Meter Dipole In Attic
Attic antennas many types of antenna can be mounted in the attic if you don t have radiant barrier.
10 meter dipole in attic. 29 620 103 7 n8dnz al talledega. Dipole easy and cheap to build can be made with small gauge wire. 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. The infamous attic dipole.
The better your antenna the more success you will have making contacts. I initially feed the dipole directly with a 1 1 balun and rg58 coax. A coaxial cable trap dipole antenna installed in the attic provides a surprisinglyeffective solution to hf operation on the 10 15 20 30 40 and 80 meteramateur bands at a qth with restrictive covenants that prohibit outsideantennas. To 10 meters one band at a time larger versions will work on 80 or 40 mtrs how to website.
Seriously consider the ocf dipole to find an impedance on a 68 foot antenna that can provide a reasonably good match across multiple bands which are even harmonically related such as 80 40 20 10 and 6m.

An attic coaxial cable trap dipole for 10 15 20 30 40 and 80 meters. Output ctcss call state prov location. To fit this antenna in an attic space i used an inverted v configuration. The ocf dipole is like a standard horizontal dipole but fed at a position other than the center typically at the 1 3 2 3 position.
The ge 20431 futura outdoor indoor attic tv antenna is one of the best looking options on the market. Mac af4ps fp 51 note.
