[HamWAN PSDR] Antennas Mounted Indoors?

[Grace B Thomson]

Hi Bart,

My view toward Gold Mtn is blocked, but my clear view is more toward 
Bainbridge Island, the Bangor Base,  Green Mtn etc.

Do You think there is a chance that I will be able to make this work? I
don't mind taking a chance and trying it if there is any hope of it working.

Thank You Bart.
