Topband: Best wire antenna for roof top location

[Jim Brown]

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.
