Hi All,
I am building a house extension and part of the works involves adding a
new hip roof made of corrugated iron. I was thinking I would pass a
50mm pvc pipe through the roof with a tee and then mount two conical gps
timing antennas on top of it. I am in a low point and don't have

The antennas should not interfere with each other due to rf leakage because
of the way the systems are designed. I will believe you are using 2 rf
feeds.
The more you can clear the trees the better. My very simple solution is a
90' tower.
A bit of humor it does have other uses.

First off, why only 50mm and why plastic? The PVC will degrade in the
sunlight over the years. Use galvanized iron pipe. Make the mast as
tall as you can. It can extend sever feet below the roof and attach to
house structure using u-bolts. (Hight limited only by appearance from the
street.)

If you are going to get any benefit from multiple antennas, you want to space
them as far apart as possible. You are better off with one antenna and a
splitter than with two close spaced antennas.
The cost of mucking around on the roof is non-trivial. The world is headed to
L1/L2

Does anybody have data? How would I measure it?
Where is the knee? I
HI
Many years ago, we got dinged on customer visit when they spotted our GPS
antenna array on the roof. The claim made at the time was that anything under
20’ spacing was counterproductive. I’ve seen numbers like 5, 8, 10,15 and 25
feet mentioned by different people at different times.
