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...
