Is there a good base antenna that can be used in the attic? I have a
lot of room, but haven't measured my attic. I would say there is at
least 12 feet of free vertical space...maybe even enough for an Imax
or A-99. Any suggestions you have would be great....Thanks!

The Imax is 24 feet. Forget it. The A-99 is 18 feet. You would have to out it at
a 45 degree angle. You best bet is a 1/2 wave dipole.

Forget the vertical in the attic idea. I tried it and there was a ton of noise.
I was able to shoot skip, but had little local communications.
