Re: stealth antt.

Tony,

The Elecraft antenna tuners do a really fine job for stealth
antennas. I live in a garden home and have an antenna farm that is
completely in my attic. I use a simple long wire on 80/40 that works
well. It is 54' in total length, the ends are bent down 11' to the
attic floor with 44' out over the garage. Force 12 makes a five band
vertical that is only 9 feet tall that work well on 20 thru 10 meters.
Just evaluate what kind of room you can grab. You can get an idea of
what I did from my website. There is a link at the bottom of this page.

REPLY:
QST had some neat write-ups in their recent issues regarding stealth
antennas.
One of them being the favorite flagpole design.
I cannot recall which issue, sorry.

Yes, to what James said and I might add that use of the perimeter eves or
balcony is a good choice as is one of the Budipole antennas on a tripod that you
can take in and out of the house. Put in a good ground rod and away you go. It
is amazing how well and inventive the manpack and QRP group does with low power
and simple antennas.
