"Remingtonh" offers another antenna solution for radio amateurs living in deed-restricted housing. As he explains, the heart of his stealth HF antenna is the MFJ-1979 1/4 wavelength 20 meter telescoping antenna: "In this video a demo a working HOA stealth HF transmitting antenna solution using the MFJ-1979 (1/4 wave 20-meter telescoping vertical), RadioWavz "Patriot 80" adjustable loading coil, Hustler mast, MFJ-909 capacitive matcher.
