Yes.... Perhaps "ugly" was the wrong word. Perhaps "striking" would be better.
Okay, it looks like I'll just want to get a regular (non-slanted) tripod with a 5-foot mast, and perch the antenna right up on the tippy-top of my roof.
What's the typical way to run the coax through the roof? There are tons of attic vents along my roof ridges. Can I just poke the cable through one of them?
Whew, running a separate ground wire from roof top to ground level will be challenging. I assume most people run them down the exterior of the house? That sounds... striking.
