- at about 20:0 UTC.. quietly went up on the roof & hooked a
portable, double reduction set ( Sangean 606A ) into the newly
installed copper flashing surrounding our apt house roof.

Picked up BBC from Cambria ( very clear signal ) And radio New
Zealand .. ( acceptable ) just tuning around Many other mid eastern
/ S.American stations, which I did not log,

Picked up local flamethrowers all over the lower part of the dial but
no matter..

HAs anyone else tried this, using their roof's flashing as an
antenna, and if so, what were the results.. ?

I hear by award Dan with the rec.radio.shortwave antenna award for the
flashiest antenna.

Sorry, I could not resist that one.
