You can even form a small loop on the vertical element and
hang it from a rafter with some fishing line.
It should work fine in the attic as long as you don't have a metal roof.

No I won't be going to the show.
Yes, RG58 is not so good. |
I didn't have welding rods long enough so I used #12 wire. We have to get another SMA - pl259 converter for the second radio but we did see an improvement. I was able to hear him from his house and understand some of what he said. I think when we get his antenna connected we'll be fine. I can't find any local place that has rg8x. Is there another cable I can use that will work? I think once the antenna is in place I will need about 35' of coax.
