[Lowfer] Attic Lowfer Antennas

Sun, 10 Feb 2002 23:11:21 -0500

Mike,

Do you realize how safe a 1w Lowfer TX signal is? The 60w lightbulb in the 
attic is 60 tmes more dangerous! (Not that I would disagree with your loop 
proposal!)

How about this idea though: I heard (think from Carl L, TH) that someone 
actully circled their house with a TX loop (vertical plane). One could even 
have the upper section on the outside strung between two eve-mounted poles. 
1w isn't that much power to distrurb occupants and electronics within the 
house - stereo, AM radio, etc.

Bill
