My recommendation is that you don't put the dipole in the attic. The
dipole is a great antenna but any antenna will take severe losses
trying to penetrate the solid walls of the attic. You will get the best
performance for everyday talking is with the dipole vertical... and in
free space.

Hi. If I want to talk abrefoot and run a dipole for 27 MHz in my
attic, I
noticed there are numerous versions. The vertical is out for obvious
reasons. So
there are inverted and horizontal. Is there any version I am better
off using
barefoot?
