[TenTec] OT: Indoor Antenna

[Clayton Brantley]

This month's QST has a real good article on a flagpole antenna.
Another article a few years back shows how to put a Hustler 5BTV inside
PVC water pipe.

Might want to look at those.  Good luck with the snoops!  Hi.
Might run a bluff citing Dept of Homeland Security, etc.

Another possible alternative, depending on your state law, is a flagpole  
vertical.  Here in Arizona, state law allows  homeowners to display the 
American flag, military service, POW/MIA, the  state and Arizona Indian nation 
flags. HOAs may not prohibit flagpoles, but  may adopt "reasonable rules and 
regulations regarding the placement and manner  of display" of flags, 
including rules regulating the location and size of  flagpoles (ARS 33-1808).

Jim,

Sounds like good advice.


I laid out some  ground radials in the back yard and installed a mount for 
my screwdriver  vertical.  I put that up after dark some evenings, and can 
work 80 and  160.  Interestingly, the attic dipoles do better on send and 
receive for  40 through 10.  The screwdriver vertical does pretty well on 80, 
and  reasonably well on 6 and 2.

I have been considering an S9-type  vertical, which, being longer, should 
be more efficient than the  screwdriver.  I'm fairly sure I'd never get away 
with a beam,  though.  My neighbors complain about just about anything, and 
there is  even a committee of the HOA that goes around the entire 
development every week  looking for discrepancies.



Thanks for the  encouragement.

73,

Frank,

Suggest that you get into  the Stealth Mode using  the Redneck 

Philosophy of Not Asking  Permission, but Begging Forgiveness if  Caught.  
I am 

sure  

you could rig up some kind of outside antenna.  I  am in a  restricted area 

and have a 40meter dipole, a 20, 17, 10 meter  fan  dipole, and a six meter 

beam outside.  Keep them low  and the associations  won't bother you.  
However, 

do not ask  if it is ok.  Simply do  it.

jim,  K4CFA
