Well folks, I am trying to find a decent vertical antenna that might fit in my attic. I have searched and read some older threads but found only one real decent one short enough to fit in my attic. The Chameleon : CHA V2L
They have two that look promising. I would like an antenna that is useable, with a tuner, on as many frequencies as possible. I like to listen in on 11 Meters once in a while and 10 Meters of course but when I can I would like to be able to use that same antenna for other bands as well. I realize there are concessions to be made with a vertical but the idea of falling through my ceiling to my doom is enough to keep me out of much of the attic!
I have right at about 12 feet of vertical space that tops out at about 36 feet high. Usint 100 feet of LMR 400 as feedline. Any other ideas?
I Have tried the QSO King, end fed dipole from Ebay with a 36 foot wire and find it barely useable for some reason, even hung outside. Apparently I was advised by the maker that I need a much longer wire. I will add that but I also would like to have a vertical for use.
