Here's another fascinating HF antenna idea for radio amateurs living in deed-restricted housing or on small urban lots.
In this video, Peter Waters (G3OJV) shows us how to modify a popular mobile whip antenna so it can be used in a HOA or on a small urban property.
Peter modifies an AMPRO 20 meter band helically wound mobile whip for home station use. He discusses placement, height above ground, and radial deployment for increased performance.
While this compromised antenna system has its limitations, it will get you on the air quickly without raising the curiosity of your neighbors. The antenna is quick to set up and breakdown.

Here are some comments from Peter (G3OJV):
n many areas, the use of outside antennas is restricted and this means ham radio operation can become almost impossible. There are plenty of examples of how antennas can be disguised. But, here is an example where there is no need to disguise the antenna because of its small size. Peter G3OJV, gives full details of how you can build this small antenna and get some great results.

Here are some comment from "Tinker John" (W5CYF): A simple and effective method of passing coax antenna cable through a window sill. Easy and inexpensive to make. Used for any type of antenna cable including ham radio, TV, CB or SWL. Suggested items that may be related to this video: https://www.amazon.com/shop/w5cyftink... This video shows how to create a window pass-through for coax cables, using readily available materials. The creator demonstrates a simple and inexpensive method for bringing coax cables from the outside into a ham shack, using a piece of printed circuit board and a pin...
If you want to experiment with unconventional antenna designs, please consider adapting US military HF antennas. These antennas are easy to build and perform well on several amateur radio bands. In this video, Walt (K4OGO) builds a Terminated End Fed V Antenna (TEFV). The antenna is broad banded, requires no antenna "tuner", and covers frequencies from 1.8 to 30 MHz.

Here's another great 6 meter band antenna idea from Hayden (VK7HH). This vertical antenna is based on the "classic Cobra Antenna" described by the late Bill Orr (W6SAI). The antenna is easy-to-make using a few basic tools, a PVC mast, some RG-58 coaxial cable, and a few connectors. This antenna is suitable for both home and portable use.

Here are some comments from Hayden (VK7HH): This is a really simple and easy to construct antenna that will get you on the air on the six meter band using only RG-58 coax! I needed a quick and simple antenna for my WSPR beacon over the summer season. Enter the coaxial dipole or aka flowerpot antenna!
