Booty Monster

With respect to ground plane, after speaking with an old friend who is back in Illinois, I get the impression that I could mount my choice of mobile antenna on a large flat piece of sheet metal with a medium size tripod mount. In doing so, the sheet metal would become the ground plane.

I was planning on mounting the antenna on the roof/top of my aluminum patio cover. I could easily lay a large 3' X 6' or maybe 4' X4' piece of sheet metal on he roof with the antenna mounted to it. Based on your knowledge, would that work?
