Guy and jim,

No, I'm not missing anything -- did you miss my words "first approximation" in my description of the model? That model was a feasibility study, not intended or accepted (by me, at least) as a predictor of actual performance of an antenna on a building that we known nothing more than a few dimensions. You are missing my point, which is that, depending on the nature of the building roof and structure, a horizontal antenna MIGHT be a very good one, and is worth trying.

No. You'd be missing the essential point which has to do with the "shape" of the tool and whether it was remotely suited to the problem.
