Yep. The name of the game is to study your real-estate, available sky-hooks for wires or mounting spots for other antennas, and use your understanding of what antennas are likely to work best given those limitations. One of the things I enjoy doing is helping another ham study these factors at his or her QTH and suggest what I think are good options.
