[QUOTE="AH2AP, post: 4882, member: 7"] That would depend on power and distance. They are compact and fantastic if you are qrp in a highrise, but the consensus I got from reading about them almost obsessively is that they are very much a compromise antenna on the tx side. If you have a lot of power going into them, you'll need to give them space to be safe. Never seen one personally but I'm always hunting for a gem of a vacuum capacitor to build a 160-80 meter mag loop. Second story eh? You've got loads of options. Just about anything that doesn't look like a tower is pretty stealthy right? Are you sure you couldn't pass a hexbeam for a clothes line? lol [/QUOTE]
