Default On topic.....vertical antenna on metal patio cover

I put up an Outbacker by using a standard automotive rack mount clamped on
the conduit above the metal patio cover. The Outbacker was installed
simply because it was easy to do, and I have one. Results were similar to
what would be expected from an Outbacker mounted on a car. There was an
unacceptable amount of cordless phone interference on 20 meters.

The cordless phone interference may be due to the power supply/charger. (I
have a little wall wart that I use for my 220 HT during weekly local nets.
It's so nasty that I need to unplug it when we shift to HF. Someday I will
replace it. Someday I will do lots of things.)
