Who cares?  Look, if you are setting up a contest
station that is a mega station this might come into
play...but for the love of Ham Radio....throw up and
wire and radiate.

I the five houses I have lived in...I have never
worried about the radiation pattern of a beam being
affected by the steel siding of the house.  I worked
thousands of people in that house...work DXCC to 280
countries and it never dawned on me to worry about
that.

Again...is this a real problem that we need to worry
about?  Put up an antenna and radiate...
