How poorly would an attic mounted antenna perform? Obviously worse than something outside, I’m guessing, but how much worse?

My office has one of those “side attics.” It has a half sized door. Mounting a long antenna in there is very tempting because of how much easier it would be than doing anything outside. It’s on the second floor as well.

    I used to live in a suburb where roof TV antennas were not allowed. Houses either used cable TV or had a TV antenna in the attic.

        On HF it probably wouldn’t be too bad since the signals would generally just go straight through the surface. On VHF and above though it could be problematic.
