I've worked AO 51 with a hand held from inside a wood frame house if that info helps (:
My $.02 worth if you can get omni antennas in the attic space of a typical wood frame building with a non conductive roof you will likely be able to make some contacts. Hope this helps.

Hi Satelliters, Moving QTH soon and expect to be in an area where there are no external antennas permitted. Does anyone on the list have actual experience of working satellites with antennas mounted inside the roofspace? I would be very interested to hear of your experiences and what type of antennas work best. 73 John G7HIA _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
