Are you troll for Vlad, tovarish?
Nyet, comrade. He has me looking for moose and squirrel. Wants to use squirrel as drone over Ukraine, and moose for shirt rack.

Damn Cor, you are the short space antenna god! I usually have the real estate to run wires. This is awesome!

My "plot" is 100 feet long and 25 feet wide, on which is the house of 32 feet long and just as wide as the plot, row of 6 houses under one roof.
You get "artistic" building and raising antenna's that way, after my cleaning up this summer, only a disc cone antenna and the FD-4 OCF will stay as will the 5 element beam stay for 6 meters.
The Imax will be replaced by the nw contraption I'm now trying to get the best results out.
The Inverted L of 77 feet high and 77 feet to the side will sat as well.
The OCF is fit for 160 - 10, lengthened on the short side with coil and wire to resonate it on 160 as well, total length 150 feet now, stretched over 3 rows of housing estate.
The inverted L will tune from 160 - 10 with the MFJ 998 autotuner at the feedpoint.
2 and 70 beams will go, not used them in years, just as the Diamond X 510 replaced by the disc cone Diamond.
I'll be 63 this August, so I'm cleaning up the antenna's and since all mounting hardware on the roof is 316 L stainless steel I don't have to worry it will corrode.
With the storms we had the last years, I'm toning down the stuff on the roof, with me getting older I'm not planning to go on the roof every year now.
The new vertical is build like a tank, once up I don't have to worry about that one in a storm.
The other mast with rotor and beams will have less as half the wind resistance after the clean up and be much lower.
Wish I had the space for a few beverages for 160.....:(
