What could I expect from an outdoor Antenna? I have nothing to attach
an antenna to on my roof. I'm newbie at this, and was curious as to
how hard it would be to install this

Years ago my neighbor was a cb freak, and he had a freaking tall
antenna on his roof. How would I get this up high enough? Could
someone really help a newbie out on what i would need to buy to get
this antenna just right for scanning. I'm not afraid to do anything,
but seriously just don't know what all I need, and what i should
expect from this type of setup.

Well yes you do have things on your roof to attach an antenna to :-)
You have 2" or 3" or 4" pipes sticking out the top of your roof, i.e.
every home or apartment in the USA has them. If your buying that
Radio**** antenna then you also need to pick up:

and

and you will need

and last

And that will put you 5 feet in the air.. You can stop into Lowe's and
pickup a 10 foot mast for $14.00 rather then use the 5 footer from
Radio****..
