Stealth Amateur Radio - Operate from Anywhere!
If your enjoyment of Amateur Radio is under siege from intrusive homeowner's associations, draconian deed restrictions or unfair CC&Rs (covenants, conditions and restrictions) -- or if you live in an apartment or condo and want to get on the air without attracting unwanted attention -- Stealth Amateur Radio will show you exactly how to:
• Build and install dozens of invisible, effective antennas, indoors and out.
• Use antenna tuners, autocouplers and open-wire feed lines to make your hidden antenna work well on more than one band.
• Set up an effective station that nobody outside your household will ever know about.
• Successfully operate a low-power (QRP) station and understand why high power is unnecessary, even with stealthy antennas.
• Install and operate a mobile station -- the right way! -- to maximize performance while getting away from "radio unfriendly" locations.
• Operate portable stations from campgrounds, hotels, motels, parks, picnic areas or other "away from home" locations.
• Handle interference from your station (to nearby consumer electronics devices) and to your stealthy radio station.
• Enjoy operating from just about anywhere!
In this book, the author, amateur radio columnist for Popular Communications and Monitoring Times magazines and former QST assistant managing editor, shares his best-kept secrets from 30+ years of operating "on the sly."
Using the techniques described in Stealth Amateur Radio, the author has worked all US states and more than 100 DXCC entities while running 5 W or less from his Midwestern condo, all with indoor wire antennas less than 25 feet above ground.
Whatever your situation, Stealth Amateur Radio will help you get the most out of your favorite radio hobby.
Only you will know how much fun you're having!
