Two more observations here on Special Secret Squirrel Assigment from deep in HOT...
Someone mentioned using their car antenna in the driveway.
Or using your car as a Mobile Repeater.
Just in the yard here, right outside of the sliding back door,
there is a slip. Affixed to the slip, a sailboat..
You could easily use your sailboat in lieu of the car...
After all, you should equip it for HF Amateur Radio, anyway.
So why not slip in a UHF/VHF and do the Mobile Repeater thing?
Certainly you could cross link: And use UHF/VHF hand-held from your dwelling to activate your HF Rig on the boat!
I also see: Leftover Modular Telco plug indoors. There would be a lot of existing wire conected to that. I wonder if it has been abandoned?
You could find out..
Or, if it is still connected to "something" on the far end, but not in use?
Well... You just might trace it down to a more distant location, say 80 metres or so,.and REALLY Cut the Cord!
Remember, Ham Radio is the Next Best Thing to Being There!
Abandoned CATV wires might also be a possibility...
These could be used for just lead ins from ohhh say a Caulked Vertical,
or in some cases, as actual antennas themselves... Caveat Emptor.
