Hi All...
Am replacing my homes asphalt shingle roof. Have option of either the same (asphalt shingles), or a metal roof.
The front faces the entrance to our cul-de-sac @ 240* SW, having a "hip" roof at that end. The rear is @ 60* NE and has a "gable" roof.
Presently hold Tech, but will be taking Gen at beginning of year... and considering, I hope (expect?) to pass.
Will be using a dual-band VHF/UHF vertical as my base, seeing two VHF repeater towers (K4LKL/R and K4LKW/R) are about a dozen miles away... and NI4CE/R which is just a few miles from my house.
Haven't decided which antenna to get when I become a Gen., but of course... that depends, somewhat, on my roof situation.
So the question is... Am I better off with, or without, a metal roof when it comes to being a Ham?
Thanks to those who answered.
