Many thanks Chris and others (both on and off the reflector) for the advice re antenna mounting. I should be able to do better than inches above the awning, but 3-4ft is probably the best I can do. And it sounds as if that should meet my needs.

I'd worry a little about muiltipath when a satellite is in the exact
"wrong" place in the sky.  But on the other hand the awning is below the
horizon as seen from your antenna's location.   You could improve the
situation a lot by using a taller mast.  Can't you another section of pipe
and get it way above the awning?    As long as you are a few feet (not
inches) above I think it's OK but it is so easy to make a pipe longer

Hello all,

I have a Trimble Bullet GPS antenna. Is the performance of those antennas
affected if they are mounted adjacent to an aluminum awning? The awning is
about 8ft X 15ft. The antenna would be a few inches to a few feet above the
awning. My first thought is that the antenna performance would not be
affected by the awning but thought I'd ask before moving ahead with it.

Thanks.

Steve, K8JQ
