NO NO NO, not if he wants it to work properly, assuming you are
talking about an aerial.


Obviously normally you wouldn't even think about it. However, 2 miles from
CP must be worth a shot.


It is irrelevant that the signal strength is high. The reflection are the
killer. BTW it is an AERIAL.


I would expect at that distance attenuators are more like what's called
for. The strength in a loft will be quite high too. So as its attenuated
the ratio of wanted/refelcted signal will stay the same and the
reflected signals will disappear into the noise, as it were....
