A professional TV mast rigger did the job. I had a look at it again... and I'd say it is more like 3 meters up from the chimney, but it is still 4 m up from the roof at the chimney so it is a bit hard to get to. Anyway, the repositioned antenna now makes the borrowed Ashtech Z-12 lock up at L1 and L2 for sufficient amount of sats, but the S/N is lowish, which I think I will blame on my RG-58, not too professionally done coax work... could TDR it thought. Hmm... why didn't I think of that?
