Lots of folks down in the holler got metal roofs. They don't take
much upkeep and them molotov cocktails the CIA always throwin at
your house won't set them on fire. Tater recommends em.

Yup, metal roofs are all good.


They do play hell with radio reception, though, unless you rig an
outside antenna.


No they do not. It would have to be grounded.


Doesn't need to be grounded, however a metal roof isn't going to block radio
transmissions through wood framed walls and windows. Between reflections &
scatter most people are going to get adequate radio reception in the AM/FM
band. Though your signal strength might drop off, but until it drops below
the noise threshold that will be transparent to the average user.
