So... HOA antennas...

[W1GUH]

No. 26 magnet wire is invisible and works good as an antenna. If there are convenient trees around, that, a ground (and a cold water pipe will do nicely in a pinch) and a tuner will do just fine.

Attic dipoles are also good for the bands you can fit. I'd say use a balanced doublet with a matchbox.

And, if all else fails, a mobile antenna on the car with feedline run into the house can ALWAYS be done, as in, hide it in plain sight!

Done all three of those and worked my share of DX & stateside rag chews & contests with fun results.

And about any possible TVI. Probably no problem, especially in this day of cable and digital TV. In any event, with SSB or CW, there's no way anyone'll know if it's you, anyway. OTOH, AM can be problematical.

Outside of the Alpha Hotel, we strive to be less of an asshat.

Might consider moving the computer forum to the Alpha Hotel.

I think you're all bozos on this bus.

No, we're waiting for the electrician; or someone like him.

And remember, you ain't got no friends on the left (you're right!)!

In my case I'd be running AM. And anywhere within the 100 - 375 watt range. So I am sure they'd hear me on at least some devices.

I've even been to the intersection of Pico and Alvarado.

but have you been to the corner of Sunrise and Sunset in Sacramento?

No, but I've been to the corner of 5th Avenue & 6th Avenue. Only in Pittsburgh.

That question comes up quite often. "Have you been to the Sac?"

Its advisable not to ask that on the first date.
