ok , this isn't a topband question , but , you guys will have better advice than anywhere else.. so , I am in a very compromised situation , I live in a double , we have an elevated wood deck, combined both sides of the deck is 45x22. what i am thinking is a Hustler 6BTV out at the edge of the deck , the base will be about 15' above ground. my thoughts , I can only drive in a 4ft ground rod below the antenna and run a wire down to the rod , then run a wire around the perimeter of the deck , it will all be on one side of the antenna , the antenna will be out at the edge with the counterpoise all on one side of it. the other issue which will block anything to the north , the double is aluminum sided , that would be about 25 ft from the antenna. I suppose I could also put more wire underneath the deck too. the guy who lives on the other side of the double doesnt care , so that helps... thoughts? if you want pictures of the situation, let me know and I can send them so you have a better idea of my layout etc... regards Dan N8DCJ
