outside wall or to a mast on the roof with a clear view of
the sky.
a. The location should be unobstructed by trees,
branches, power lines and other buildings, etc.
b. Avoid installing the GPS antenna near high power
transmitting antennas.
c. To avoid lightning strikes, the location should not
be the highest point and such that any lightning
rods are well above the antenna.

but in colder climates, mount the antenna high
enough to avoid getting buried by snow or ice.
