- John, I think you are on the correct track to pick a rig like the Omni VI. What is the construction material of the building where you were going to put the attic antenna? If it is wood frame constru

- John, It's the rear end, not the front end that folds back power, but otherwise you are right. It is an excellent choice of radio. Erecting an antenna inside of a building is always a challenge. It i

- Hi John, I think you're right about the fold-back. (I think you meant the finals, not the front-end) Having used my Omni Six Plus for 18 years, I should know for sure, but I don't. As far as ease of

- John, you are correct, the OMNI VI does not fold back power output on any amount of SWR. The finals can be damaged or destroyed by over current which may occur under worst case conditions of high SWR

- The Omni VI does fold back power based on final current. If the current goes too high, the drive to the finals is reduced. It does not fold back based on SWR. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisbu

- John, I have had some success in the past with a single band LNR end-fed as well as a half-size G5RV with a 4:1 balun in my attic. The LNR 10-20-40 end-fed might be a good possibility. I have used on
