I'm looking for ideas for an antenna that could be used on 75M with reasonable results, can be mounted in an attic of a small townhouse. I'm guessing total dimensions won't be more than 40 x 20 with

What is "reasonable" <grin> OK.. a full sized dipole would be about 130 feet long, and you've got a maximum of about 30-40, or 1/4 the size .. The feedpoint impedance of a 40 foot dipole at 4 MHz is

Dave take a look at SGC's website http://www.sgcworld.com/ . Look under "technical" and they have some ideas on stealth antennas. Wire bend around, not as efficient, but works 73 Larry K1ZW --Origina

I would think about something you can load as a long wire against the best counterpoise you can find. Try to find some enameled wire, #18 or so is pretty low visibility. It can be run around outside.

Some 40 years ago I've been in almost same situation, dwelling in huge mansion building with attic 50' * 33' (15m * 10m). I simply made bent dipole around the attic (nailed dipole wire to wooden beam

Dave, There are several antennas that work well in limited space. A mobile Screwdriver for one. I would suggest you look at the DDRR antenna. It can be erected in a very small space. you can use wire

At the feed point, one can mount something like an LDG auto-tuner. Those devices can handle a pretty high SWR and will probably allow you to run the above antenna on all the bands 80 and up. In a 40x

I think the best you can do is to cover the end walls of the attic with wire screening (as end loading) and then run a dipole between the screens. You will need to install some decent sized air core

If you have a tuner at the feedpoint, it's not entirely clear that the extra wire buys you much. _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerT
