Having an outside antenna is a no go in my neighborhood. So the next best place I have is in the attic. I will be purchasing the good 'ol scantenna but have a question about how to face it.
I don't have room in the attic to mount it vertically. Can I place it horizontally and if so (I'm assuming it can be mounted any which way because it's an omni) should I have it face up or the face on the antenna pointed at an angle to the left or right? If this is not a good option for this antenna I would assume the next best thing is to get a discone. I can mount that vertically.
Also what effects does wood in an attic setting have on attenuating received signal. Anyone ever done any testing?
Thanks
