being tucked under the eves of a house will be neither good nor efficient,
it will be too close to wiring, piping, metal gutters, drip edge, and who
knows what else inside the walls. it will also pick up noise from
everything in the house on receive, and likely get into any poorly shielded
electronic device in the house.

that being said, put up whatever is physically easy to do. leave off the
balun and run to a tuner in the shack and be done with it. it will work
everywhere your tuner will handle it. if the tuner can't handle a
particular band try opening it opposite the feed point or change the length
of the feedline to give the tuner a different impedance to match.

The size of the house is about 25 feet by 40 feet, not including the 2

peaks of
the roof line. This gives a resonant frequency of about 7.7 mhz. The

addition
of the two peaks, hopefully will bring it down to the 40m range. I was
thinking of adding a 1/4 wave 75m stub to the antenna.

I am more interested in effeciency and performance than being resonant

(yeah, I
know that resonant antennas are more efficient...), but I need a good,
multiband antenna.
