Hello,
I intended to install a DX Commander between two out buildings on my property. One of those buildings is a 12x20 foot shed I built with a gambrel (barn-type) roof covered with a metal roof. I did it to get more loft space, but I'm concerned now about the metal roof interfering with the antenna. What is the recommended minimum distance the DX Commander should be from the shed?

If it matters, I only intend to string up antenna wire for 40M, 20M, 12M and 10M. Please advise.

When I bought my Hustler BTV-5 vertical from DX Engineering, their online documentation for the installation recommended a 50’ minimum from a structure. You might check their website for similar instructions for your antenna.
