Default roof ground plane

G'day Group,

I have a new QTH with a steel roof (colorbond) and am thinking of
putting up an unobtrusive (10m) vertical. I was considering mounting a
quarter wave length of aluminum tube from the ridge cap, and use the
roof as a ground plane. The roof slopes off either side at a shallow
angle.

Anybody done this? Anybody see any problems?

thanks, Peter.
