In my attic, I have an Open-Stub J Pole and a 20m dipole. They work pretty well! You’ll need to make sure that you don’t have a metal roof or any foil layers in the roofing or insulation. If you’re running a dipole, try to avoid electrical wires – if you can’t, have the dipole cross them at a 90º angle.

Yeah. I live in an area with a lot of river valleys, so the signal doesn’t propagate as far, either. I might set up a solar client on top of a nearby ridge to try and build out the mesh.

I set up my first node this week! Not much traffic yet, though.

Don’t forget to turn on captions when you watch! He adds lots of supplemental information.
