neighborhood antenna restrictions
Help. I've been licensed since 1967, but I haven't been active for
about 20 years. I just bought a FT-101EE with a Cushcraft R4 vertical antenna, however there are restrictions in my subdivision about antennas. I'm thinking my best bet may be a long wire between my house and a neighbor's tree with a tuner. I know this is an ago old battle, any ideas for an inconspicuous HF antenna? |

Sounds to me like you already have a workable idea in mind. Just use small wire, keep it high enough to be out of reach. Use a tuner, and keep your coax as short as possible (lossy with high SWR) and you should be just fine. Ed K7AAT |

If you bought the house knowing that antennas were not allowed, consider not putting antennas up, at least outside. If you got sucked into the deal by an unscrupulous builder who deliberately hid the antenna restrictions so that he could sell a house (this happened to me a few years ago)....... OK, stealth antennas...obviously higher frequencies are easier to deal with.... 1. Flagpole converted to antenna 2. Horizontal loop around the outside of the house, in the attic, or around a room. 3. Mag loop 4. If you park your car in the driveway, mobile antenna with coax reaching to shack. 5. Ground mounted tilt up vertical 6. Tilt up vertical mounted on metal fence 6. DDRR 7. Small diameter wire end fed 8. Capacity hat vertical with loading coil near top, producing a short vertical not easily visible 9. Attic dipole |

Copper and aluminum Gutters work great!...If they only run across the front and back of the house you can connect them with a small wire across the roof to make for a nice long antenna! For example I'm hooked to the bottom of a downspout near the ground on my 3 story home....about 28 feet up the guttering starts and runs 25 feet across the back of the house......I connected a wire across the roof (60 feet long) to the end of the front gutter thats the same height and length. 166 feet of antenna in the shape of an upside down U ! I buried a couple of ground radials next to a fence for 160...80....40 and added a few short ones for 20 /15 and 10 about an inch deep in the yard.....works great with a tuner and is fantastic on the L and AM bands for reception as well! Other than a small 4 inch length of coax behind the house next to the garage door.....Its invisible! wrote in message ups.com... Help.

Congress just passed and the President signed a Federal Law that stops the CC&R cops from prohibiting flying the American Flag on your property. This means you can have a flag pole (antenna). :) Dave WD9BDZ |
