Any special considerations?

How can I predict the band width?

========================

None. And no need to predict bandwidth. It will be more than wide enough.

None? Unless this is an attic antenna, wind will be a big consideration,
and possibly noise (acoustic) as well. I don't know all the laws of static induction
into
an antenna, but it seems to me that you might also want to watch for arcing
in connectors etc.
