Undercover Ham Radio Operation-with antenna restrictions.

 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.
