Default neighborhood antenna restrictions


Help. I've been licensed since 1967, but I haven't been active for
about 20 years. I just bought a FT-101EE with a Cushcraft R4 vertical
antenna, however there are restrictions in my subdivision about
antennas. I'm thinking my best bet may be a long wire between my house
and a neighbor's tree with a tuner. I know this is an ago old battle,
any ideas for an inconspicuous HF antenna?



Sounds to me like you already have a workable idea in mind. Just use
small wire, keep it high enough to be out of reach.

Use a tuner, and keep your coax as short as possible (lossy with high
SWR) and you should be just fine.
