We have been talking about wire antennas in trees, under eaves, flagpole antennas, small verticals, etc. Antennas that are stealthy and couldn't be seen unless you were truly looking for them. The biggest fear that these folks have is what they consider to be an unsightly tower in their community. If we push towers, we will never get the support of representatives that have communities with CC&Rs in their district." I think this is a MAJOR point that is being lost by the average ham in their excitement that things might change. Many are thinking a 50'-70' tower and tribander are in their future... I'd appreciate a copy of the template you have been using for emails to members. Thanks & 73, Doug K4AC
