What is your living situation? Apartment, home owner, what are the rules
you have to conform too?

There are a lot of good options. From hidden long-wires to using what is already there, to just using a 1/4 wave tunable coil antenna hung out a window. I have even seen stories of guys using a window frame on a boat
with a home made coil.

Home owner, buit I have limitation on how high I can have an antenna and how many..

So I already got a dx-lb plus from alpha delta placed at 44 feet (on my
tower ) and I want to have a vertical too.. inverted V are pretty good for local and some DX but from what I read a good vertical will beat any
inverted V for DX.. and since I am looking at dx much more then local QSO ,I am planning on hidding it under a nice flag ;-))

There are a lot of good options. From hidden long-wires to using what is already there, to just using a 1/4 wave tunable coil antenna hung out a window. I have even seen stories of guys using a window frame on a boat

You can tune anything with anything, I know.. I would like something that
work great ;-)))))

If you own your house you can hide a long wire on the roof under the
shingles, and use the gutters as the ground plane. A friend of does
exactly that, works well for him. if you have a flag pole, then you can
create a vertical antenna by running the wire with the rope up the flag
pole. You can run your vertical in the grass underneath the flag pole. It
will be hidden, and you never have to take it down. Of course you can use
the flagpole itself, my uncle in Rapid does that for 160 meters.

Anyway you can hide any wire antenna and they work as well as a 4000
dollar stepIR. Lots of great ideas on the web in that regard.

The wire in the attick is a no,no in here, I have a split level and no
attick is long/tall enough to do it..


I really like all the stuff I see on the internet about hidding long wire antennat, but I am not skilled enough to work my way into such design..

I would really like to find something that is all done just need to
assemble, not some plug and play but almost ;-))
