Regarding the BOG in the desert wash behind my house, it is on heavily vegetated common land, which this time of year is visited only by the rattlesnakes--I don't own any of it, but am using it until the inevitable developers come in, buys the land, and then tell me I can't. I wish I had similar antenna quality for HF/VFH, but due to severe HOA restrictions, I can only use a Buddipole on 40-10 meters and a 3 element M2 yagi for six meters, both of which I place on top of a 20' painters pole just off the back patio that I can raise when I am on the air and then lower to evade the HOA Antenna Police!
