Great presentation. I enjoyed the stealth of your Antennas. I've been in apartments, condo's and small yard houses. I will warn anyone in an apartment building. Be careful of your output power with indoor HF antennas. I was working nights, so I played radio at night on my days off, and while tuning up with 100 watts at 3:00 AM my RF set off the buildings fire alarms. Oops! I had a lot of fun and some frustration trying to get on the Air.

Wow nice video, great antennas, cheers.

Thank you for this video im also dealing with hoa mafia union. Good idead for stealth antennas

Thought you may like theVHF/UHF Vertical Dipole, I saw a video for on here. It is made of 2 stanles steal welding rods bent where one part is for VHF and the other is for UHF. One of the bent rods points up the other points down mounted on some PVC pipe. The rods are 1/8 thick and 36 inches long so there is much is cut off when tuning. This would not be hard to hide. Other things you may or may not know is that NASA is asking for help from hams in the solar eclipse, for propagation study in the eclipse. I hope we have a lot of hams get going for this. This is something that hams do anyway. Thank you for the ideas you are giving out, we need to help each other. 73 W4DES

I show that antenna at around 4:22 in the video. I did not glut the "T" fitting, so I can rotate it from vertical to horizontal to use it for 2m SSB.

I wish the pictures place holder was the opposite. When you where pointing out the driven element for the MOXON I couldn't see a thing at 10:20 .

A Moxon antenna is nothing more than a 2 element Yagi with the ends folded in. The driven element is the one the coax connects to. So, in the picture at 10:20, it's on the right.

Do you have documentation for the vertical antenna and the loading coils ? I'd be very interested in building one of them.

Hello, that's it! For the life of me I couldn't remember his name while I was standing up there. Thank you!

Googled: HOA is short for Home Owners' Association. Non-profit organizations to help manage, run, and maintain a community.

Unbelievable. You couldn't have an antenna in the HOA, but that dumb purple house got away with that eyesore purple siding!!!

18:56 HOA Approved a purple striped house?
