There is a big problem with that idea because common brick absorbes
water content and will provide a very lossy substrate.
The resonant frequency will also be affected due to capacitance.

just read a article someplace about a new conductive paint that is going
to be used by different sources (pvt/mil) to in effect paint an antenna
on a surface. once such use was an 'orbiting' blimp , planes etc to
repete signals


ok so i wonder my roof has a flat brick wall it's 40ft tall 40ft wide

if i painted a antenna design think i'd get any useful performance in at
least one direction?

unf it didn't state any spec's but it's commercial


just really thinking out louad how a antenna w/little profile but
otherwise large surfacce area might work
