We don't all have room for a tower and beam like you do.
In fact here in Europe, very few people do. Less than 1% of us.
The OCF is about the only way to get a single wire to work on many bands,
unless you feed with openwire.
It's not an "either-or." Look at the links on my qrz page to see what I
did in Chicago, very small lot. ALL resonant wires, no aluminum (except
for 6M). There are MANY options for resonant, balanced, multi-band
antennas for small lots. OCF antennas and verticals in cities are
NOISY. RX noise is is big @#%^*ing deal. If you can't hear 'em, you
can't work 'em.
