Doug, Take a look at my web page, URL below.
I live in a built up area, garden is a mere 30ft x 50ft however I have worked
Australia, USA, Brazil,
Argentina, East Siberia and
more on 160m using a small 15m loaded vertical, 400w and a VERY small steerable
receive antenna with 25db
Filtered Preamp.
Don't give up, it can be done, just takes more perseverance when in the
confines of a small lot,
however it's a lot more satisfying knowing that you worked the DX without
having 10KW and a full size
beam on the farm !!
:)
Enjoy ...
