Talk about turning a problem into an opportunity...

It's good to see there are some optimists out there, but I feel that some 
replies missed my original point. If you live in a property occupying about 
8m x 8m ground area, with a similar sized back yard, and are forced to use 
attic antennas because you aren't allowed outside antennas anyway, it's 
hard enough to radiate a signal on 40m, leave alone 80 or 160, and QRP 
(essential to avoid RFI problems with attic antennas) doesn't help matters.

I've never been able to operate successfully on the lower frequencies. The 
laws of physics are against me.

Thanks for the ideas, anyway.
