[QCWA] Flag Pole Antenna

[Norm Gertz]

Ed....there is a company that manufactures a fiberglass flag pole with 
antenna built in......my memory is not working but perhaps someone else will 
remember.
A home owners association that tries to prevent flying the American Flag is 
pushing things a little bit.......very touchy business.

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
