How effective would a UHF transmitting antenna be if It were to mounted in the attic ??? The roof is made of tile.
Transmitting antenna in the Attic ???

What kind of tile? If it's concrete tile, I would think you'd get a sgnificant amount of signal absorbed before it left your attic. If it's plastic tile, that shouldn't be a problem. As I wrote in another thread, reflective foil insulation will also be a problem.

Yes, the tile is concrete. I was thinking of mounting the antenna in the second story attic infront of a wooded air vent. I'm trying to get away with not having to mount the antenna outside. But, I guess I'm not going to have much of a choice. BTW this will be used for a low powered Motorola Desktrac UHF repeater with an attached MRTI.

What is the repeater being used for? We really need to know that in order to determine if a given mounting location will be adequate. Some other things likes like duplexer, feedline, antenna type, power, etc would be helpful.

This will be a local repeater with a Motorola MRTI 1000 attached, approx. 45 watts, feed line is RG-213, with a small duplexer mounted by the desktrac. The antenna is a 1/4 wave ground plain, and the frequency is UHF.

Local is very broad. Where, how far? Are you even licensed to be doing this?

Sounds like he wants a far reaching cordless phone!
What service is this going to be licensed under?
