hmmm

Well im gonn aput it on the roof.There are power lines nearby on the street but im gonna mount it with the u bolts right to the sat dish angle mast.I gott make sure the ubolts can get around that or im gonna have to buy a smaller mast to bolt to the other.It had no problems holding my direct tv dish and i get alot of wind on this lake im sure it will be fine.AS for the ground plane i have had this antenna a long time and various models of it antrons etc.Never used a ground plane.I used to operate one from 40 feet up above boston in a suburb in the hills with awesome results.The only loss i ever got was i interference with a cab antenna system on the same building.Got my ass reamed for that many times.As far as tvi im not worried this day in age with everyone having flat screens and cable its kinda a thing of the past.Im sure if i mount it right and have a good swr it wont be a issue.I just dont wanna drop money on a gpk and i dont wanna spend money on antenna mast.Im sure the sat dish mount will work fine if i get complaints i will take a look into other options.I ran this antenna 3 years ago out here off my deck with no complaints with a magnum 257.
