"Any advice is welcome." Andrus has a bonded metal roof 10x60 mtr which is 17 mtr high. An automobile contains radio noise within its engine compartment by using a metal cover. A roof does not completely cover and surround noise sources within a house, but if it is effectively grounded at the receiving frequency, the roof can help block transmission of noise into an antenna mounted above it. A dipole is balanced and slightly directional. This helps avoid noise pick up. A balun at the antenna feedpoint helps keep the antenna balanced and allows connection of coax to run through noisy areas without pickup. A low dipole over a reflective surface has a high-angle radiation pattern, excellent for NVIS. With an agile antenna tuner you may be able to hear and work stations within several hundred miles.
