There are no horizontal wires in the air if he installs a Yagi like this one:

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
