I have y antenna in the attic as well, but hung from rafters by strong cord. Not ideal but I know where you are coming from. I added the Stelth Antenna Amp from Magnum Dynalab, which helped alot, but never as good as being on the roof. $400 bucks-worth a try (I have the Modded MR78 as well-I cannot pick up a station 50 miles away.
FM Antenna question
I bought a large antenna from Ed Hanlon, APS few years back.
After getting it here, and my intent for several reasons was to put in the attic, which I discussed with Ed at the time, I found that I did not have much room for the roof rafters height above the attic floor. This meant that I had to lay it on the attic floor. I have electical runs near by, and the size meant that it literaly touches the wood roof rafters. I am open to suggestions. Yes, I know outside, but can not do. I thought of even getting a smaller yag so I can turn. As for stations, there is one about 50 miles out flat lands, that I barely get with a Modeferri moded 78 and a moded sansui 9900. The Mac meter reads a 7 out of 9 and the sansui meter is peged on the same station I strive to get. Suggestions????
I think its the APS 13, the big one.
Thanks,
Bob
