Better yet, weld a TV antenna and mast to the top of an old junked
pickup truck. Paint the truck in camouflage. Install a gun rack
(with large shotguns), install dual CB antennas, and put a Redneck
Confederate flag in all windows on the truck. Inflate all the tires
to 60lbs. Then get a crane to lift the truck onto the house roof,
with left tires on one side of the ridge and right tires on the other
side. Run your cable down to an open window and connect to your tv.
You now have a roof mounted antenna, plus a set of dual CB antennas
just in case you get the urge to Breaker Breaker good buddy ---- 10-4
Roger. You never made a hole in the roof, or modified the house in
any way. I do hope you set the parking brake on the truck though.

re: I do hope you set the parking brake on the truck though

The parking brake rusted solid years ago and the cable was cut.

Just leave it in gear and you'll be all set.

Antenna probably work just as well laid parallel to the roof
on the roof as they do 1 meter above the roof on a pole.

if the roof is wood and asphalt, putting it in the attic might work
almost as well. I remember living in a dorm in college, we lived on the
top floor of the building, we simply taped the antenna to the ceiling.
