Well that is really strange, when I first got back into my antenna work recently, I had my Starduster model I call my Marconi 6 and my A99 on 20' foot mast and leaning up against my house and the roof affected both antennas so badly that I could tell with my receive and the tune was even affected. And you say your antenna got real quiet? Could it be that what you did affected the antenna so badly you just were not hearing well?

That is what I about to do add a FG rod and isolate the antenna. I bet if you get that thing well above your roof, it might still be quiet, but I'll bet it works a lot better than lying on the roof.

Hello George.
