Default Attic Antenna?

I'm using the Grove Omni-II. I just replaced the feedline and moved the
antenna some, and it seems to be working better.

Has anyone had any luck putting an all band antenna in their attic and
getting good reception? I put one of Grove's dipoles in my attic and get
poorer reception than with the back of the set antennas. These antennas do
a great job when mounted outside, which I can no longer do.


If you used the same antenna with success outside, then I would suspect
there's a problem with the feed line in your new installation. Is it much
longer or a different type of line? Which antenna is it? A dipole wouldn't
normally work well as an all-band antenna, would it?
