That is so true

Do your HOA restrictions really prevent you from stringing a nearly 
invisible skinny wire somewhere outside? You could have a much more 
efficient (in terms of EM radiation produced versus RF watts generated 
by your transmitter) antenna for a lot less money using the wire.
If you can sneak the tiny wire outdoors, spend the money on an impedance 
matching unit, instead of on the tunable dummy load.
