Here's a photo of my house from a few winters ago, you can see the front door in question. I've thought about putting up a mast on the gable side of the house, to the left in the photo.

That's where it would be least visible to others and I have a lot of free space there and it would make the shortest run to the front door while giving me maximum height and ease of installation. If I put a 4 meter mast there I'd get around 8 m height.

I also forgot to mention I found i am in the range of a 3rd transmitter that's in seinäjoki, it's 60kw and gives me a stronger signal than the north and south facing ones.
