If you have an attic, you would do much better with a full size antenna - barring that, a mag mount indoors is a huge compromise, no matter how you slice it. You will be able to move it around a bit to find the 'sweet spot' (every building has at least 1) where the freqs you want to hear come in clearer. In general, though, get it up nice and high and as close to an outside wall or window as you can. 73s Mike
