How far is the antenna from the roof or any other metal objects?
I did a little bit of tweaking as far as height is concerned. I started with the antenna at the back of the house on a pole about 12-13 feet. Then I decided that I needed to move it to the front of the house. Nothing really changed. I decided to mount a J-mount on top of a false wall on the roof which gave me about 8 more feet. So now my VHF/UHF antenna sits at about 21' in the air.

Like I stated the antenna is on the roof at about 8' above the actual roof. I dont see any metal objects any where close by, not even any power lines.

I can provide pics if you guys think that will help.
