 Thanks to Shane (K5QBF) for this fascinating HOA antenna.

In this video, Shane shows us how a simple, easy-to-make linear loaded antenna can get you on the air despite HOA restrictions.

This antenna uses commonly available parts to make a stealthy, workable HF antenna for the 15 meter Amateur Radio band.

Here are some comments from Shane (K5QBF):

In this video we are building a linear loaded dipole for hf ham radio use. This is made out of simple components and a breeze for any skill level. This antenna is the perfect size for an apartment or small yard. If you would like to support the channel please visit my merch store https://shop.spreadshirt.com/ThisSide.... Thanks for watching!
