Drainpipe antennas are popular with some UK hams, especially hams whose wife won't allow a Yagi in the garden. I sold one property not long ago so my antenna/went and I'm using a G5RV and a temp measure and this property will be on the market when I get back from NZ. I'm taking a Yaesu FT-817ND with me to NZ for QRP CW.

A guy a couple of doors away had a big antenna that you could see from streets away. When the house was sold the new people removed the wiring but left the pole. I intend to hijack it after an event. In the meantime I'm looking at installing a stealth antenna myself.

A little 550, some wire, feedline and shazam, comms.... because of my home location, stealth is the way to go for me, has caused me to be very creative... i am fortunate in that we have a good sized attic, access hatch in my home office, so i can run feedline down into shack, and mount various antennas in attic using wooden dowels, and flag pole kits... I have two fixed, the arrow 2/70cm j -pole, great antenna and a discone for back up and my SDR/Uniden HPII scanner antenna.... i did run an end fed hf, but found performance to be poor, so that goes outside now on tilt up pole when i need to fire up hf rig.. also, i am not concerned about DX, just local/regional, so NVIS is what i run...

I found myself wandering the aisles of Cabela's where I found myself staring at the Ken Onion Work Sharp Knife and Tool Sharpener. Needless to say it came home with me. Knowing how to hand sharpen is great and all, but right now I have electricity and it sure makes it easy!
