How poorly would an attic mounted antenna perform? Obviously worse than something outside, I’m guessing, but how much worse?
My office has one of those “side attics.” It has a half sized door. Mounting a long antenna in there is very tempting because of how much easier it would be than doing anything outside. It’s on the second floor as well.
I was thinking about putting my 2m antenna in the attic, I didn’t think about metal though. I have asphalt shingles but I have solar panels basically covering the south face. I’m guessing the brackets, panels, and wiring will all add up to my plan not panning out well.
Solar panels, specifically inverter is likely to generate a lot of noise
