  There are equivalent "stealth" antennas used in the mobile
  phone industry, and each is custom designed for the application.
  The design and installation price of those make a fully-equipped
  K3 seem like pocket change, ditto for hiring someone like me to
  litigate for the permits necessary to erect same in a residential
  district, PRB-1 notwithstanding.
