Aluminum roof, well heck you are lucky. I wish my roof was aluminum. Did you bond the mount directly to the roof also? To improve things on 80, you can still deploy those portable radials, fan them out a bit and make them long. May not work so well in some RV parks I know. That is what I am going to do, use radials fanning out from the pin box mount.
