The first thing that comes to mind is a flag pole.

A 22' flagpole (with buried radials) can be base-fed
with an SG-230 (for instance) to achieve reasonable
performance on 40m-10m.

I used one of those for several years in a "restricted" neighborhood.
Performance was not bad. I used a manually switched coil/capacitor
combination mounted at the base in a wooden box obtained from the local
beekeeper supply house. While the box was a little large, it was
inexpensive, and held up well in weather with a new paint job every 2-3
years.


Hmmmm...no flagpoles allowed. Is there any problem with birdhouses? As I
recall, some birds like to have their house on top of a 16-22 foot pole
