Stick a "satellite dish" on a pole anywhere. The cable going to it can be any ham antenna that you decide to create! Do I hear "Bazooka Coaxial Dipole" anywhere?

You may want to try experimenting with putting metal foil on the deck of your patio, either in some solid or sliced up fashion. Heard that some hams have had good results tinkering with this approach in stealthy situations.

Great news! It just goes to show that fighting with landlords and HOAs is not always futile. The more we stand up to those bast_rds, the less inclined they will be to keep on pushing us around.

Are you doing this because of HOA or CC&R restrictions? You might have better luck with a stealth antenna away from the house... such as a wire run up a tree with ground radials, a disguised ham antenna in the form of a look alike TV antenna, or a "satellite dish" on a pole with the "cable" actually being a ham antenna. Don't forget the good ole "flagpole"!

ARRLBOOSTER does have a valid point. It is unfair for a woman to totally run a mans life. Marriage is supposed to be a 50/50 give and take relationship, where one spouse tries to work with and understand the others needs. Just remember, wives may come and go, but a mans hobby of radio is his forever.

That happens to be a great solution. Just tell the XYL that if she doesn't like the way your antenna looks, you will just hire an archetect and contractor to design and build a thing of beauty that blends beautifully into the house! And tell her that the new $50K second mortgage will be well worth it!

Fair enough, but if he does spend enough time with them then he should be allowed time for his hobby. Better yet, let all the family members get ham tickets and then they will have lots more in common!
