Best Self Supporting Vertical Multi-band Antenna for Restricted Neighborhoods
You might want to consider a magnetic loop antenna -- easy to build and
conceal. Multiband might be difficult, but a small 1m diameter loop can easily cover 20 through 10m. Google 'magloop antenna' and 'magnetic loop antenna' Irv VE6BP "Jay Scherberth" wrote in message ... Hi, Just getting back on the air after many years of silence and I find myself struggling over the choice of antennas. I need something that I can easily raise and lower (get out of site due to CCR rules) so we're talking about a compromise. I do have room for a couple of radials (max 30 ft) as long as they can buried in the ground 180 degrees apart (not ideal). The antenna will have to be installed within about 4 feet from the side of my house. I was hoping to find a self supporting vertical betwwen 30 and 40 ft hight that could pivit at the base (might need to purchase that separately) so it can be laid down flat on the ground next to the house when not in use. I plan on purchasing an auto tuner if necessary. The vertical can have no physical radials on the antenna itself. And by the way, I live in the hills above Henderson, NV so the quality of the ground isn't good; lots of rock and hard clay with poor drainage. Purchase price up to $400.00 OK. Any ideas of what might work in my situation? Many thanks in advance! |
