I've read some addn threads and couple of other things come to mind for my application here in Union NJ.

The mast is mounted to the chimney at the west end of the home.
The power from the pole comes in to this end of the home as well, with the entry point near the peak where the chimney is located.

Also tacked underneath the roof joists is metal backed foil insulation, not fiberglass but approx 1/4" laminated metal foil with a thin insulating layer in between.

Mounting the mast to the east end of the home would distance the antenna from incoming power lines and, since most of signal comes from the east, could this not abate any problem generated by the metal foil tacked to the underside of the roof joists.

The home is also clad in alum siding.

Thanks.

David
