[QCWA] Flag Pole Antenna

[Edward Williams Yoder]

Hi all,

I would like to install a flag pole about 35 feet high flying the American flag, but insulate same from ground.  I'm in a home owners association which doesn't want antennas, so I'm disguising this as an antenna.  I don't have room to use radials or a ground plane installation.  I would sink a 10 foot, copper ground rod to achieve same.  I have an antenna tuner which I assume would take care of the operations on 40 thru 10 meter bands (75 meters is a maybe on this arrangement).

Do any of you have a similar situation or could give me pointers as to how to best accomplish my objective?

Your opinions will be most appreciative.

Best 73s,
Ed Yoder, W3YMB
