I found this interesting information on hidden antennas on one of the lists I receive. It pertains to construction of a simple loop
in the attic for the HF bands.

"...I also live in an 'RF Safe' development and had to
come up with a way to get on HF.  I have an 80 foot
loop antenna (two 40 foot loops) in my attic which I
tune using an SGC 237 tuner. I can load up everything
from 10m - 80m with it and keep my SWR below 2:1 at
any point along the way.  Often times the SWR is in
the sub 1.5:1 area.

I wrote an article for my clubs newsletter detailing
the construction.  Please feel free to take a look at
it at:
