Mini, I'm not quick to assume anyone is a liar when it comes to describing their results with antennas. There are so many variables to consider long before assuming the messenger is dishonest. Like what I thought was a gutter judging by the nail I see sticking out. Look a little closer under those roof shingles and I'm sure you're going to find a metal drip edge there causing the same problems.

The location of your mount is ideal for that truck. It goes completely against normal results that you would have no signal to 57 with the full length antenna only to be at 100% copy with the loaded antenna. Assuming you are truthful, that immediately puts me on the hunt for things like the drip edge in the roof.
