Thank you all so much for the opinion/feedback. Looks like I have some more homework to do, which is very good. I think the only thing that I can firmly decide at this point is I won't be hoisting up any 25ft plus antennas in the yard. A neighbor already reported me on my 17ft whip from the My Go 2 HF antenna. LOL. Thank you all again!

As you will see, we all have opinions when it comes to antennas. If you are looking for a mobile (that is also my permanent home antenna) multi-band HF antenna, I have had terrific results with https://www.ebay.com/itm/164366131025. It is smaller and cheaper than the others you are looking at. I use with some green paracord and use a throw weight like this (https://www.amazon.com/PETZL-Jet-Throw-Bag-250-g/dp/B00994MFRE/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=3RG0QFPD3590R&keywords=tree+throw+weight&qid=1666637925&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIzLjU0IiwicXNhIjoiMy4yOCIsInFzcCI6IjIuNTIifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=tree+throw+w%2Caps%2C111&sr=8-3-spons&psc=1&smid=A3LSSUC763MAC<https://www.amazon.com/PETZL-Jet-Throw-Bag-250-g/dp/B00994MFRE/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=3RG0QFPD3590R&keywords=tree+throw+weight&qid=1666637925&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIzLjU0IiwicXNhIjoiMy4yOCIsInFzcCI6IjIuNTIifQ==&sprefix=tree+throw+w,aps,111&sr=8-3-spons&psc=1&smid=A3LSSUC763MAC>) to get it up in trees. Blends in well and I’ve made over a thousand FT8 contacts as far as 10k miles away using it. For a mobile and small VHF antenna, I recommend the Ed Fong DBJ-2 dual band roll up antenna (http://miklor.com/COM/Fong/DBJ2-EdsDesk.php). It was $36 when I bought it in 2020. I have the similar TBJ-1 tri-band as my base antenna at home. I can’t seem to find his website so not sure how he is selling now but his email is [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
