Attic Antenna?
 

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?

You would get better responses if you learned how to CROSS-POST instead of
making separate posts in multiple newsgroups. I replied to this post in

and on the other hand, some of us don't want to read cross posts...

Idiots and trolls cross-post. The rest of us adhere to commonly
accepted Usenet etiquette and avoid doing so.

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

If you had a decent newsreader, you wouldn't have to read cross-posts,
because the newsreader would mark any as already read or not even download
it all... Apparently you don't have one.

OK then. Apparently you agree that wasting bandwidth is proper etiquette?
Better read up on your etiquette again...
