 How do you think the R6000 or R8 would perform over a steel roof.  The base

 the antenna would be about 2 to 3 feet above the roof.

It's too low and antenna would not match. Probably will shift down due the 
coupling of those 49 inches radials to big ground plain. It will work at 8 
feet and up and but cannot say for sure, I did not try....
