Thanks for the replies. The reason my brother bolted it lower was because of the drip-edge and shingles that hang over, maybe 3/4 to and inch. Bolting it lower allowed for the antenna to clear the drip-edge easier; in lieu of Sc53's message maybe it is best where it is at. The other thing I could do is make a bracket that will hold the base out from the house further and then move it up. (I am sure my brother would love this request!)
FM antennae question
I am using the Fanfare FM-2G dipole antennae and I just had my brother move it to the peak of my roof; it is attached to the gable end fascia. I have very large fascia, he mounted the antennae to the lower part of the fascia so the first six inches of the antennae is against the fascia before extending past the roof. Could this cause any performance loss or am I going overboard here???
