[PVRCNC] Antenna suggestions for attic

Greetings antenna gurus!  Not being in a restrictive hoa subdivision myself, I am posting this question on behalf of my brother KF4HHD who is just starting on his amateur radio journey.

His subdivision is highly restrictive on outside antennas, so I am trying to find an alternative that might work.  He has a fairly large attic above a two story house oriented almost north/south.  Other than potential RF and fire from possible arching if it is too close to conductive material, does anyone have suggestion or experience with running antennas in an attic?  Maybe an Alpha Delta DX-EE or mount a small tribander in the attic.  It’s a pretty large space.

Right now, he is just getting started and just had 100 watts at his disposal, but would like to run higher if/when that is possible.

Hopefully, I’ll get my station rebuilt from the 2011 tornados and be able to submit some logs soon.

73, Jerry NT4Q
