I live on a small lot in suburban Washington, DC. I am very fortunate
not to have a neighborhood association to answer to, but I still like to
maintain a low profile. I use double bazooka antennas for 40 and 20
meters to take advantage of their relatively broad bandwidth. On 30,
however, I use a simple dipole since the bandwidth requirement is so
little. The antenna is fashioned of #18 insulated wire and is run
through my backyard trees. The small gauge insulated wire, the thin
RG-58A/U coax feedline and the camouflage of the trees make this antenna
nearly invisible, yet performance is not compromised.
So -- stealth or not -- what kind of 30 meter antenna do YOU use?
