Venkata – Thanks for suggesting vertical antenna. I will certainly consider it.
My concern regarding verticals is the footprint required to accommodate
sufficient length of radials. Your thoughts are welcome.
Rudy – Unfortunately, I
I, too, am in an "absolutely no antennas" HOA. I built a DX Commander clone,
