I do not have any experience with coax directly on my roof but I would
still be concerned about possible side effects of extreme temperatures.
Let's say you live some place where the air temp can reach
110F.....given that and a pure sunny day and "darkish colored shingles"
and I suspect the surface temperatures on that roof can hit every bit of
150F (or more).....I just don't know if I would like that.

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

This is my month for questions. I am looking at placing a receiving loop
(and a rotator) on my roof. The roof has architectural asphalt shingles.
What is a reasonable way to get coax and a rotator control cable to the
loop? In my case, I cannot access the roof point from inside the house.
How should I protect the cables from the rough shingles? And protect the
shingles from being rubbed by the cables? If the answer is conduit,
should
it simply lay on the shingles or be raised somehow?
