I just stumbled upon a cool approach to an "antenna-in-a-box". Titanex
AKS8010 is a 3 legged tower system topped with a log period array that
doubles as a capacitance hat: each of the 3 legs of the tower is a
vertical.

What a cool idea.

I contacted their US Supplier: Array Solutions and Jay tells me that the
producer is unreliable and not consumer-responsive. He dropped his
supplier status with them 5 years ago and has asked Titanex to remove
his address from their website several times.

It's listed at 2695 Euros...not cheap, eh?

Still, I think this is an intriguing approach.

Here is their (Titanex's) address:
