Building, erecting, and using a vertical antenna is becoming more challenging, thanks to deed restrictions and smaller home properties. In this video from "Outdoors On The Air", we see how a few PVC pipes, paint, and placement can reduce the visual footprint of your next antenna. If you follow the suggestions in this video, you'll soon have an antenna that is "out of sight and out of mind." Thanks for joining us today. Aloha es 73 de Russ (KH6JRM).
