Sorry, that was not my intention. We all do "stupid" things. The
intention of my post was not to say that what you did was stupid. My
illustration particularly mentioned running high power, which you
already said you had not done, as an extreme to illustrate the point.
Insurance won't cover it if it is proved to be an intentional act, and
even intentional acts are covered for kids up to a certain age.
The intention was to clear up the misconception that if one of our homes
was damaged or destroyed by doing something that in hindsight might not
have been the wisest thing, insurance still would cover it. But I can
see that this discussion could turn off into a long discussion that has
nothing to do with Elecraft or ham radio, so it should probably die
right here.

Not sure I'm liking where this conversation is going. I answered the original poster's
question as to whether a metal roof has been seen to adversely affect antenna
performance, not advocate doing "stupid" things. My installation worked very
well for me w/o running high power. I knew I WOULD be doing QRO after a new roof was
installed and subsequently ran my feeder in an appropriate location.

I didn't see the original reply, but I just wanted to clear up one
misconception. Homeowner's insurance covers stupidity. Unless it can be proved
that you put that ladder line on the roof and ran high power through it with
the intention of burning the house down, you would be covered.

You must have been running very low power. Laying any kind of
ladder-line on a roof, insulated or not, is an excellent way to have
a house fire that the insurance company will not pay for. Especialy a
shake shingle roof.
