Put all options on paper and allow her to be part of the decision process. That
might stave off future grief.
If local ground conductivity is average or above, I would opt for a vertical
dipole hung from a tree branch or a quarter wave vertical with two coil loaded
radials near ground level.
Good luck,

Howdy, TowerTalkians --
I've got a conundrum. I need to put up an 80M antenna where the wife
doesn't like wires in the air (there goes a wire dipole) and is averse to a
vertical with radials. There are several tall trees that would be nifty but
again no horizontal dipole.
I figured maybe a vertical dipole (with traps) might do it but I've got no
idea how it'll work. I guess if it radiates I should consider it a win - hi.
Comments encouraged. Tnx!
Cheers,Steve K7LXC
