[OZAPRS] Newb HF questions ;)

[Shaun Pitcher]

I would like to second that!  The Tin roof on a big rural shed has 
provided one of the best antenna installations I have used with a 5BTV.

So much so that when we do the renovation at our Sydney house I am going 
with Colourbond roofing so i can install another vertical. 

If you can possibly get the antenna on that roof I think you will be 
surprised.

When drilling the hole for the support pole be sure to get a proper hole 
saw and not the $10 cheapies.  The $10 cheapies result in no hole, loss of 
blood and swearing. 

Regards, 
Shaun Pitcher

Damien, you have one of the best grounds there is and that is the tin 
roof of the shed. If possible get the antenna on top of the shed roof.
