I live in a mobile home. I would like to run a ocfd antenna across the roof to a tree in back of the mobile. The front of the antenna will attach to a house knob screwed into the peak of the roof than extend towards the tree at maybe a 45 degree angle. Running a 100 watts will the reflections off the metal roof cause any cancellation of signal or maybe help the transmitted signal. Thanks for your help Doug Flint K7WYR. |

Give it a try and see how it works for you. OCFD antennas are notoriously finicky in even the best situations--who knows how it will load up in your case. Zack W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |
