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 |

This means you can have a flag pole (antenna). :) Dave WD9BDZ |

Be sure that the Gutters are not grounded. If you have Aluminum Siding, the
gutters maybe attached to the siding. A quick check with an ohmmeter should verify that. Other wise the gutters make a great antenna. "Rayburn" wrote in message ...
