I want to put an antenna on my roof/eve. The feedline will run along the exterior of the wall, inside some schedule 40.
I am trying to decide between an eve/gable mount, or a tripod. I live at the bottom of a hill, so as high as I can get it, the better.
I live on the Oregon coast, and we get some pretty gnarly wind. Not hurricane strength, but quite a bit of sustained wind and fast gusts.
I want to try a 1/4 wave antenna, since it seems like this would give me the best chance at getting "up and out" over the hill. From what I have read, since I don't have horizon (due to the hill) a 1/4wave ground plane antenna might be my best bet.
What is the tallest mast that is recommended for a roof-mounted tripod? What about for a gable mount?
