[TowerTalk] Metal House Siding and Antennas

[Nelson P. Moyer, Ph.D.]

I have to put siding on my house. I would prefer to use metal, rather than 
vinyl. I have a TH11 on a 50 foot tower set about 5 feet from the house. I'm 
concerned about detuning the antenna, and rectification or harmonics from 
resonant lengths of siding.  Does anyone have any experience with aluminum or 
steel siding under a similiar tower/antenna?

I apologize for sending this to 3 reflectors, but I need an immediate response 
so I can sign a contract, and I want to reach as many hams as possible.
