I've read a lot about modeling antennas and ground. But what about the
house? Dipole configurations might look like this.

Hi Jon,

This is actually far simpler than others would have us believe.

Model the antenna you have above/near the house. Model it in the
conventional way (no house) while taking care to include the usual
loss (copper loss, ground loss).

Now measure your antenna's characteristics.

Subtract Measured results from Modeled results = House effects

There's your model for the future. And it's accurate. This beats all
the tea leaf reading and gazing into Xtal Balls to achieve a mystic
answer.
