Just some thoughts...
That #26 wire is going to be a problem no matter what type antenna you end up with. For the longer antennas, HF, etc, it's strength is going to be sort of limiting. It is sort of difficult to see, but it's far from being invisible. So, if you are in one of 'those' neighborhoods that don't like 'visible' antennas there is another choice instead of an invisible antenna. That's using something that is very visible, but not normally associated with antennas. The first thing that comes to mind is a flag pole. Certainly 'do-able', and certainly not going to be 'simple' if it covers more than one 'chunk' of HF. The 'simple' way of 'curing' that sort of thingy is to throw money at it, to some ridiculous point. (Wonder how 'they'ed feel about a 'commemorative' Atlas missile monument in your yard?) I think you might do some thinking about what's the longest, sort of straight, 'run' you can manage using the roof ridge and tree. A few 'bends' in that 'straight' run are allowable, sort of. And then consider various ways of 'loading' that run. One option might be a 'short' but 'long' inverted 'L', a "lazy-L"? Not exactly the best, has it's own set of 'problems', but if it works, who cares...much. Having 'been there, done that' at at one time or another, I really wish you luck. - 'Doc |
