[TowerTalk] Vertical Radials

[Rod Greene]

Dave, I have often wondered how a vertical would play if
mounted on top of a metal roof. Could the metal roof 
panels be used for the 'ground' instead of radials? It 
would seem that the roof would actually be better than
radials.  Any ideas?  I have a metal roof over my shack ..

radials?? The anntenna will be mounted on a tri-pod, the roof is about 15'
high, from ground level..
