[Electronics-Talk] experience with a metal roof in a regular house

[Gary Lee]

I’ll look up the link for the one I have.  sold by a man in Terre Haute indiana.  cost me $95 shipped.  Built very ruggedly, light, and easy to put together.

You need to check the tv stations in your area to see if any of them are still using the old vhf high band.
channel number is no guide, as that is a broadcast digital code.
If I can find it, I’ll get back with a link to the antenna.
works very wel for me from my chimney top. all stations are in indianapolis, about 40 or so miles as the crow flies.

From doing some checking on different kind of roofs we've learned that a metal roof is about the best type roof because it will last much longer than a conventional shingle roof. Also the rating on metal roofs is much better than conventional roofs. In fact it's rated to withstand winds of 120 miles per hour. and going with a thicker gauge metal it will withstand hail. So if we need too we could put an outside antena up. There brings up another question do any of you know what a very good external antena would be? Thanks for all the responses, we'll continue reading all responses.
