The roof of my house is pitched, not flat, and is tile, so walking on it
will break the tiles.
The front yard is actually big enough to build the antenna, except that
smack in the middle is a large "island" made out of brick that's planted
with trees. The TH-7DX fit in one corner of the yard, but the OB17-4 won't.
Perhaps it will without the 40M elements. I'll have to get out the
measuring tape and measure it this weekend.
