I was thinking about trying a inverted v in the backyard attached to a
tree. I was going to make some kind of wooden insulator for the middle and
screw that into a tree as high up as I can get on a ladder.

I have a 4 foot drop or so on the back of the house compared to the front.
All my trees are in the back yard. Its sort of like a mini forest. Would
a
inverted V still perform well if the top wasnt above my house? I have
vinyl
siding so maybe I would be better off just keeping the antenna indoors?

thanks

If your going to do it, get it above the house.
Vinyl siding or not, the house will block part of
the antenna.
Why not use one of the tree's, mount an antenna
on the top? That would put it well above the house
and give you better performance.
