Please try to limit the width of your photos to 800 pixels; crop or resize. Any wider and it makes the posts too wide.

I added a terrain profile for KOMO which shows the hill; see post #4.

So, any suggestion on how to safely extend the pipe on this satellite mount though?
I already answered that. (And I see that ADTech also answered that.)

I'm thinking of building some sort of roof to cover that deck. So that may not be an ideal solution.
Understood. The ideal solution is the one that gives you good signals with the least effort. You haven't found it yet. Maybe a mast that comes up from the ground beside the deck, which would be better than making more holes in your roof.

You must be prepared to try a few experiments before you see any improvement.

No effort; no improvement.
