Thank you for the explanation. I have very little background in antenna theory.
Oh GOD! I am such a numb-nuts. My best friend was a radio and radar guy on a Navy ASW P-3 Orion. I'll bet he could give me some "hands-on" help with the antenna installations so that I don't screw things up too badly.
My sister's house has a metal roof, but the facia is wood and only overhangs the underside of the porch ceiling about 3/4 inch. The bottom of the gutter is about 4 inches above that. I could mount the Rootenna about 3 inches beneath the porch ceiling and be clear of the gutter by at least 7 inches. It also probably wouldn't look as goofy as a Yagi tube.
May I also presume that the above ground elevations of the antennae should optimally be the same, assuming that the "ground level elevation" of both buildings is the same? (or am I being TOO anal about planning the installation?)
Please forgive my questions that may seem simplistic and obvious to the more knowledgable among you, but in the past, I have seen little things get overlooked on big projects that caused major headaches.
Again, kind regards and many thanks for your help and suggestions.
