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
