A dipole on a real tall building roof is worth a try (because it is so simple and easy), but it is not a simple predictable system.

Tom,

I agree with this post on all counts. What's actually there can be difficult to predict or even know, so anything that can be installed reasonably easily is worth a try. Yes, an end-fed wire loaded against the building as a counterpoise is certainly worth trying. This one of those situations where you must try the various options to see what works.
