To be clear, I knew I would catch h#ll for having an antenna in the attic. I almost didn't want to post because of it. Financial reality, however, for some of us, dictates this is where we start.
Adding a mast, chimney clamps, extra length of coax, and the grounding can make an OTA antenna a pretty substantial investment.
Although I did much reading and was confident I had the best parts for the job, it turns out I do not. This kind of tweaking is much easier done when the equipment is not on a mast 10 feet above the peak of my roof.
I'm not arguing that the attic is the best place for reception, but sometimes it is the best place from the wallet perspective.
