Due to HOA constraints, I am having to resort to stealth to hide my HF configuration. Considering the use of a 20' fiberglass flagpole as the support for an internal conductor fed with a 4:1 Balun and remote antenna tuner hidden at the base. Does anyone have any experience with this type of setup and what could I improve on. |

I've been using a commercial 20' telescoping aluminum flapole mounted on the supplied plastic pipe and bolted to a wheelchair ramp for over five years. I initially used it on 40 through 10 meters with an autotuner. Then I used it as a single band 30 or 40 with a tuner in the shack when I started using a small amp. Last year I added a 9 ft fiberglass pole in parallel to add 12 meters. Zak W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |
