Default Re: Antenna Question

There are many ways to make a house ham-quality. Am a fan of "hidden antennae" and used to be quite creative when I lived in town houses and apartments. I still have "hidden antennae" at my home, just so the neighbors don't blame me everytime ComCast has a hiccup.

Having a 4-element quad with a kilowatt on the low bands may not be too cool, but a trap-dipole in the attic or a vertical in the back yard will go unnoticed.

Have not checked in with the TVARC yet, but am sure thre are several members with very ingenius antennae that their neighbors don't recognize at all.
