Attic Dipole Plans

A project which i ve been meaning to complete for a very long time is to place a dipole antenna in the attic space of our house.

Attic dipole plans.

You should attempt to maintain symmetry in the system by bending the ends of the antenna in equal amounts. The better your antenna the more success you will have making contacts. It can also be set up as a short vertical antenna that does not need a radial system. Dipole and long wire antennas can also be used with mobile outdoor style auto tuners feeding them in an attic space.

It is small enough to fit inside the attic of many homes. The infamous attic dipole. This will provide me a means of reaching out to the world while i save my pennies and look for a good deal on a multi band yagi uda hf antenna and possibly a different tower too. Another local uses an hf loop antenna tacked up around the circumference of the ceiling of a second floor bedroom.

If the attic area is not large enough to accommodate an almost full size dipole simply erect as much of the antenna as possible in a straight line then bend the ends of the dipole up down or sideways from the main portion of the system.
