Default Attic Antennas and Foil Backed Barriers

You won't know until you try. A 20m dipole should be easy enough to
get into any attic, and give it a shot. You might be pleasantly
surprised, and that odds that you'll be terribly disappointed are
pretty small.

I've used lots of Dipoles in weird places and have gotten contacts. In low
sunspot its not much
but your still communicating. I used an Inverted L next to a apt building
from my 2nd floor apartment
and worked the world (High Sunspot time) . Remember, beams were not
really in big use until the 40s.
Even then it took a while for it to catch on.
