[Lowfer] antenna location

[Douglas D. Williams]

Years ago, when I first started using an active e-probe antenna for
LF/VLF receiving, I placed it on a ten foot TV mast attached to a vent
pipe on my roof. The results were underwhelming, as noise (QRM) from
devices inside my house was quite strong. It wasn't long before I
moved my antenna to a spot in my yard about 50 feet from my house,
which produced much better results, and that has been my receive
antenna location for the various antennas that I have used over the
years. A couple months ago, we had a metal roof installed over the old
asphalt shingles. It just struck me today that the new metal roof
might provide an RF barrier for the QRM. I wouldn't mind having a
second receive antenna in place. Do you guys think I should try
putting one on my roof again, or should I just find another spot in my
yard?
