I was hoping to get away from traps, but i dont think its possible :-(. I
only have a smallish yard, with just 30m from the chimmny (brick ) to the
back of the yard, so i think a decent wire antenna is out...but i am open to
suggestions. I guess the other considerstion is to keep "she inside" happy .

Hi all, I am just about to get my Foundation licence and am contemplating
a multiband vertical. Many plan talks about "radials" being needed, now I
just happen to have a house with a nice tin roof. Can I make use of the
whole roof as a ground plain or do I need radials cut to resonance for
each band?

Thank

Andre (vk3 - almost got it!!!)
