I don t believe electrical wiring should be an issue when mounting this antenna in the attic.
Antenna attic ground plane.
If you can in anyway get an antenna outdoors at height it will probably be a better solution than an indoor one.
A metal surface the larger and flatter the better is required underneath the cb antenna to launch the signal out into the atmosphere.
I strung up a 1 2 wave dipole for the 10 meter band.
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.
It is found that for a monopole antenna like a quarter wavelength vertical the ground acts as a plane to reflect the radio waves so that an image of the top half of the antenna is seen in the earth.
Installation was simple enough.
With a power handling capacity of 500 watts this antenna can handle any cb or ssb transmission.
I did that because my dipole seemed to just pick up a bunch of static and not much else.
The ge 20431 futura outdoor indoor attic tv antenna is one of the best looking options on the market.
A typical mobile cb antenna does not transmit horizontally it radiates in a downward pattern.
If your attic is at a good height around 9 18 feet give or take this antenna will function much the same as any other vertical antenna at the same height.
Hi all due to hoa crankiness i have decided to install a couple antennas in my attic.
Also i installed a little wil on a large plate of metal to hopefully act as a serviceable ground plane.
It is possible to simulate this function by replacing the real earth.
The base of the antenna is at dc ground so any metal or wire below the antenna will be invisible to it.
Especially if the wiring will be below the plane of the antenna.
This sleek futuristic antenna easily blends in thanks to an.
Since its bandwidth also covers the full 10m amateur band the workman is an excellent hf antenna that you can employ where the ground plane isn t practical.
As the name indicates the antenna ground plane acts as a simulated ground.
The only restriction may be building materials which may contain your signal.
