Attic Mounting an Antenna

Greetings Quinn,

I have an Attic Mount, foil backed Plyboard included, which I am very satisfied with. I'd try putting your Antenna in your attic. However, it's a good idea to get an Antenna which is a bit stronger, to compensate for shooting through the materials.

Your chart looks good, but you only need a "Modified" Range (Ch 7-69) Antenna, to get the job done.

There are several Antennas which should do the job well enough like the....
AntennaCraft HBU-22 or
Antennas Direct V-10 or
Channel Master 2016 or
Terrestrial Digital SR-15 or
Winegard HD7694P

There are probably several others (some BowTie's included) which would work also, but, I selected the "Yagi" type, because of it's reliability in the VHFhi range.

When mounting in an attic, take a look at the following Drawings, which may give you some ideas about the mount.

Have a good Day !
