Current #sidequest conundrum, I've got an old #weathersatellite receiver which I want to resurrect.

The options are:

1 put it in the loft, would allow it to be high but antenna would be under a slate roof
2 I put it in my garage, would then be accessible but lower to the ground, antenna might the possible to mount near my solar panels outside

I'm thinking garage is probably best...
