[QCWA] Flag Pole Antenna

[Steve]

You might consider a commercial flagpole antenna.
Force 12 sells one http://force12inc.com/F12-flagpole-ants-003.htm there may
be others as well.

ps: I remember an article I read once (I think it was in QST) in which a
fellow built a remote tuner into a raised flower box at the base of his
flagpole antenna. Maybe you can find the article.

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
