I have a Kenwood HT (5 watts) and an Icom mobile unit (50 watts) that I'd like to use on 2m from my house. I figure I need to install a 144/440 antenna as high as possible in my house. Unfortunately, I have no way to get a cable into our attic unless I cut a hole in the ceiling. I also have no way to get a cable outside of the house unless I cut a hole in the side of the house. My wife wouldn't be happy with either hole being cut. How have others solved this problem?
What do people recommend for a good home 144/440 antenna setup? I have a mag-mount mobile antenna that I'm no longer using, but I bet there is something better.
Finally, do I need radials with whatever I set up?
