Effective Indoor Antennas

Many radio amateurs are unable to use outdoor antennas because of deed or space restrictions.

In this video, Dave Casler (KE0OG) discusses several indoor antennas that will provide acceptable performance while avoiding attention from your neighbors or HOA enforcement teams.

While these antennas can't provide the same advantages as outdoor antennas, they do allow you to get on the air.

Here are some comments from Dave (KE0OG):

Peirre, KM4WSJ, lives in Florida and is often victim to powerful lightning and thunder storms and is forced to disconnect his antenna. His question to Dave, Can you recommend a homebrew antenna that I could use indoors and could switch from the outdoor to the indoor during thunderstorms?
