Well, the large bush I was going to put the DX Commander in is out. The undergrowth is thicker than I originally estimated.
However, found a place closer to the house that will work. It would be 15' from my AL siding, but from my previous computer modeling experiments with yagis I don't think that will cause issues. And I won't need to worry about burying a coax joint and buying the tapes to protect the joint!
