For any that have antenna restrictions/covenants but would still like to
work HF, take a look at W0KPH's web page at http://www.qsl.net/w0kph/
Jack and I worked at the same "funny farm" for years and he was my Elmer
back in the early seventies. The information he presents is a bit
amazing. Such as a contact on one of these very small antennas with
California on PSK31 where they maintained full copy until Jack got down
to 800 mili-watts (where it went down to 85% copy).
These antennas are quite small - 14 inches tall for 20M. Even the 160M
version is amazing at 7 feet tall (functioning almost like one that
would be 120 feet tall for "normal" vert's).
