The antenna may be mounted indoors or outdoors. Try to mount the antenna as high as
possible (without making it a lightning rod). Mounting the antenna high will keep it away
from noise sources and will improve the maximum range.
In a wood framed house, the second floor or attic is often a good location for the antenna.
This places the antenna above the most common sources of interference: televisions, lights
and appliances, yet leaves it in a good location to receive lightning signals. Mount the
antenna to the drywall or attic rafter away from screws, nails, electrical wiring, and other
metal objects. If your house has aluminum siding (vinyl siding is ok), foil-lined insulation,
or any other metal coating, you might have problems receiving with the antenna indoors, as
the metal may shield radio waves from the antenna.
DO NOT MOUNT THE ANTENNA SO AS TO ATTRACT LIGHTNING.
The
antenna does not need to be the highest object in the area to receive lightning signals.
DO NOT LOCATE THE ANTENNA NEAR AN OBJECT WHICH IS LIKELY
TO BE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Objects such as television antennas, CB antennas,
power lines, phone lines and tall trees are natural targets for lightning. Keep the antenna
and cable away from anything which might be struck by lightning. Lightning can jump
from one object to another in its search for ground.
