The Stealth Antenna Page!
by K5UZ
Welcome to the newest edition to the arkansashams.org
website. The purpose of this page is to present various ideas on how the
clever amateur can disguise his or her antenna system as to not bother the
nosey non-ham neighbors. Remember, your CC&R needs to be followed and the
intent of this page is not to encourage anyone to violate any contractual
agreements. Please consult an ARRL volunteer consultant, city council or
your local building code authority before proceeding with that antenna
project.
Can you find the 75/80m directional array
in this picture??
Look closely: This is one element of a full sized 75/80m
Four Square array at K5UZ. The array consists of four full sized 1/4
λ verticals spaced 1/4
λ apart with elevated radials 10 ft above the
ground! Total area is 195' x 195' out to out on radials. This array
provides the equivalent "punch" of a 3el yagi. The XYL and the neighbors
don't even know it's there, even in the dead of winter. CQ DX!
 
Hybrid coupler, dummy load and
toolbox. Typ. feed point with
radials, RF choke and CW/SSB relay.
MORE TO COME!!
If you have any photos, drawings, ideas, hints, kinks, skinny or
tidbits on your stealth antenna designs that are or have worked for you,
please email them to me at - k5uz@arrl.org
