Default antenna

hi all
i was told to take down an antenna by the council that was on a small
mast of about twenty feet. total hight thirty five feet.
i have been told that if i place my mast and antenna in a small box
type trailer im ok.
as it is mobile i only have to move it from my house once a month (to
the road and back).
i dont know how much truth there is in this any help is welcome.
with thanks

Dang he must have been operating one of those big cb's..I can't even
imagine the tvi he was causing with that rattle trap, can you?

There was an article on building up a antenna inside of a piece of PCV and
stuck it over the sewer pipe on the top of the house. It was loaded a little
to shorten it down a bit but it was better than nothing, besides it looked
like part of the house.

Yea there you go. A guy can get inventive with a flag pole for an antenna
too. Heck, load up the rain gutters with your tuner if they're metal.

Have some damn fun!
