I just passed my General exam.
I recently purchased a Yaesu FT-991A and it will be delivered tomorrow.
Currently, I have a Tram 1477 VHF/UHF antenna, but need something for HF.
Recommendations are needed regarding HF antennas for both home and car.
I want to be able to use at least the 10, 15, 20 and 40 meter bands.
Space is limited on my property and a long wire dipole is out of the question.
My back yard is approximately 50 feet wide and 25 deep with neighbors behind and both sides.
House is a small cape cod with a chimney roughly 35 feet off the ground.
Township rules dictate I can’t have an antenna higher than 15 feet above roof line.
Car is a Honda Element and I will use the radio for mobile and POTA.
