Nothing but me and the yards of my two neighbours. I am able to run about
60 feet of 22 gauge green enameled wire along the length of the yards. I
have done extensive reading on NVIS propagation, but I'm curious if anyone
is actually using this method on 160, 80 or 40m.


Thanks,

Can you not put a small pole at each end of the building and hang a doublet?

How about a loop or doublet on small stand offs attached to the eaves of the
building?

A pair of moble whips set up as a dipole on a pole somewhere?

A perusal of the ARRL Antenna Book for other ideas?
