Needs to go higher for better results

vhf uhf are typically line of sight ... the higher the better , my comet gp9 2/70 antenna is in the air while my hf antenna is at ground level, a couple of t&k brackets and an alloy tube would be perfect .

you need it above the roof line really

thanks for the comments. I think it will be case of try it for a while, and then eventually when I get a big ladder fit it near the peak on the gable end of the house. As always at home everything is a compromise, but it's out and maintainable at the moment which is one more small step forward. I'll report back how I get on with contacts.
