If you can handle a 30 foot vertical (advertised by MFJ and others) it
might
work well with a good ground.
If the real estate is limited for ground wires, just do the best you can,
and live with it.

If your restrictions do not allow a permanent 30 foot vertical, you might
get permission to tilt it down when not in use.

Yes. I meant 43 feet. That was either a typo or a 75 year old brain fart.
