wrote: Would this work or would it detune the antenna? Hi Rod, It would be simpler to just do it and see what happens. The worst that comes of it is that the metal roof needs the sections electrically bonded together. Not so much as a "ground plane" as to reduce corroded connections (by bridging and shorting them) that act as semiconductors and thus give rise to spurious emissions. Any elevation removes your antenna from the deadly embrace of lossy ground. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC (also Western WA, Seattle) |

I think you are right, Richard. I'll just do it and see what happens. The
thing is the roof is a painted metal, so I'm curious if there is continuity between the sections. Thanks Richard. By the way, I live in Rainier, down by Olympia. Rod |
