For timing use ideally it should be above the roofline by at least several feet otherwise satellites close to the horizon will be not be visible.
The generally preferred antenna is the Agilent/Keysight/Symmetricom. 58504A antenna also any outdoor antenna made by Trimble or TrueTime as long as antenna does not use a downconverter.

I was planning on having it mounted on a south-facing wall but below the roofline - does this sound okay for picking up satellites? It can poke above the roofline if needed as long as the mounts are on the wall (not the top of the roof). Is there a recommended antenna? I am planning on feeding it into an Oncore GPS module which will then interface to a Soekris net4501 running nanoBSD and ntpns. Thanks!
