Bow-tie antenna

The antenna I made is has 7 inch 'legs' with a 3 inch gap, which seems to be the standard DIY measurements I found. I haven't yet installed a screen behind it, I was looking for some cheap 'mesh' material but since it's indoors I guess plywood and foil would do.

The only metal I could think of in the attic would be the nails used for the wood structure and shingles. Not much else besides that. I'll have to try and move around in the attic to see if thing improve.

Thanks for the advice. If you have any other suggestions, they're very much appreciated.
