Frank,
I suggest you look for an Cushcraft R7. It has the traditional sleeve
traps which make it relatively narrow...It does want short radial
extenstions at the bottom but they will scare the birds z(HI) and it
could be inserted into your errr Flackpole oh flagpole if you use
PVC. It is about 22 ft tall but you will want it up at 7-10 ft to start
to get reasonable performance. I love mine and now that I have all the
parts to rebuild it, (Storm damage) I will be back in action.

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
