Hi All,

As a temporary multi-band antenna, to get me through until spring when I can
put up a small tower, I'm planning to use a tuner to load up the gutters
[and trim] on my house.  I live in a two story house on a small hill, and
the house has 4 downspouts, one on each corner.  Between the downspouts,
running all the way around the eaves of the house, is an aluminum trim the
gutters are attached to.  I figure the circumference is around 150 feet, and
the peak of the house is probably around 25 feet.

I've read about doing this a few times, and even talked to a few stations
that were doing it, but I've never tried it before myself.  Anyone have any
tips or suggestions?

Thanks,
Dan
