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,

Larry Sheridan K8XR

In the next few months, I will probably move from my “luxurious“ designer style home here in the villages to a small cottage in a far away state. This cottage will have a postage stamp size rear yard/lanai and a slightly larger front yard. What would be the best vertical or flag pole that I can put in such a place without getting whatever HOA’s exist very upset.
