LF Engineering H-800 Skymatch active antenna

wrote:
I'm thinking about using this antenna for a condo I bought in San Diego
recently. There is insufficient space for a decent wire antenna and I
know I can sneak this up on the roof without any issues. It would
probably be mounted on a pole about 5 feet above the flat roof surface
with feedline down the outside of the building and into the window.
There are no high rises or structures that will be higher than the
antenna in the immediate area. The nearest power lines are about 65
feet away, however, this is pretty much an suburban area with the usual
load of computers, TVs and other RFI generators. What experiences has
anyone had with this antenna in a similar situation? Thanks for any
responses or comments.

Have you walked around on the roof with a portable to see what it's
like up there noise-wise? I'd do that before ordering the H-800.

I like the H-800, but are you sure there's no way to get a decent wire
up there? Maybe a small loop, or a wire sloping from the roof to a
support on the ground?
