[TVARC] Vertical/flag pole for tiny lot

[Larry Sheridan]

Hi Mike:

Your small-lot challenge sounds very similar to my HF antenna issues here
in the The Villages, I ended up doing
a strengthened Hustler 6-BTV vertical on a beefed-up DX Engineering
OmniTilt mount in the front yard, after getting
ARC approval for a 21' flagpole.  The antenna with high-power 75M KW coil
is a slip-fit into 2.5" PVC tubing and has
33 buried radials of 17 ga galvanized electric fence wire (cheap), with a
Home Depot fake fiberglass landscape rock
for tasteful camouflage.

You are welcome to stop by for a look-see most any time, just give me a
call to make sure I'll be around, I'm up north
just off Morse Avenue by Spanish Springs.

Regards,
