Just got my Jan. copy of QST on the front cover I see ( GET ON THE AIR WITH A STEALTH ANTENNA) This excites me as you all know I live in the CC&R world and I am always looking for STEALTH antenna ideas.
So I turn to the article...UH...stealth ? This is a 17m antenna mounted in the yard with a hazer type device to raise it and lower it...Stealth? I CAN SEE IT ! Please tell me how a 17m antenna in the back yard mounted AGL made from shiny metal is in any way a stealth antenna...Burt says he can not have ground radials according to his CC&R restrictions this makes no sense to me at all...I can have this thing in my yard but no out of sight ground radials....give me a break!
So if had this thing in my yard at least 6 neighbors would be looking at it and know it was an antenna...so maybe a very good antenna but not stealth boys....Once again the ARRL and QST missed the mark....if you want to see stealth antennas come to my house.....oh never mind YOU CAN'T SEE THEM........73
