[Cliffdwellers] 2 meter antenna in the attic

Sat, 19 Jul 2003 08:42:09 +0000

< I live in a condo townhouse with strict antenna rules.
   I am thinking of putting up a 2 meter discone inside the attic.
   I get the height but it is enclosed.  >

< My other option is to install it outside but lower than the 5
feet fence in the yard.  It won't be enclosed by I don't have
the height.  >

< Any suggestions?  >

   Height is mandatory, you could glue or tape a 300 Ohm
"J" pole on the inside of a window pane. (made of the
almost clear polyethylene) You could get one of those
2 foot tall plastic pipe antennas that sits on top of
your `vent' pipe up on your roof.
   You could shoot a small 4 or 5 element yaggi out
through a window. (covering a 20 degree arc or so)
   You could build an antenna into the hand rail of
a balcony.
   You could hide an antenna in a flag pole.
(PVC or fiber glass, single or multi band)
   You could put a magmount mobile antenna on top of
a filing cabinet or refrigerator. (keep the power
level low if someone can touch it.
   You could . . .
I never heard of a:"2 meter discone" ???
