What Should I Mount My Ham Antenna ON

  How in the world am I going to get my antenna up in the air ? Going way back when I was younger I asked myself that question and now I asked myself it again when I started in ham radio. Back then I had a 40 foot tower with my PDL II beam antenna on it. My only regret is that I sold it not thinking that I would be in ham radio. That was in 1992 when my wife and I moved into this house. I really don't have a backyard big enough for it, but I bet I could have squeezed it in.

Beam Antennas For Limited Space

  I don't have enough space for a big beam antenna. I have certainly heard this quite a bit as I read stories on the internet. I myself have the same issue. My property is less than one quarter acre and to make it worse, it's a corner lot. I have very little backyard and the side yard has the electrical lines coming to the house. I do not have a big chimney and my better half would kill me if I put holes in our fairly new roof. I my self do not want to do that either.
