I re-read your post, and realized you were talking about the exterior wall, not the interior wall. My apologies for not reading as carefully as I should have, and jumping on the "Be a man" bandwagon.

The structural concerns of installing an outdoor antenna (roof leaks, proper grounding, etc.) are valid ones, and make a lot more sense to me than a 3/8" drywall hole (i.e. Tellig). I paid to have a roof antenna installed on my last house, almost 20 years ago, and had a good friend who's a contractor, help me with the one on my current abode. Leaks concern me too, especially on the roof!

I'm glad you're considering an attic antenna. If you have the room, you could go as far as a mast mounted, motor rotated Yagi. If you don't, consider Timbo's often recommended Rhombic DIY antenna (Asylum link below).

Regarding your sick wife, I'm sorry to hear you're both going through that. I have experienced a family member suffering the irrationality that sickness and medication can cause. "Stressful" doesn't even begin to cover it.

Hang in there.

You are willing to spend up to $500 on an internte tuner but not on buying a directional FM antenna with gain? - Timbo in Oz 05:11:57 10/04/14 (2)
