Isn't having an antenna that interferes with nearby civilians a big no-no? How is it that ARRL is advocating 'stealth' antennas? Isn't that a little like AAA openly publishing ways to cheat on smog tests?
Am I missing something?
A lot of landlords and HOAs prohibit antennas primarily because they don't like seeing them
My understanding is that this is just making the physical antenna less visible, regardless of location or visual factors you are correct that it interfering with anything would be a major issue which needs to be resolved.
@fubarx @cm0002 stealth antennas are ones which are not an eyesore to muggles.
Its us hams who get interference from cheap electronics and yet we don’t ask anyone to stop generating RFI. We design filters, shift frequencies or go POTA/SOTA etc.
In short, we are a decent bunch who just want to sit in a radio quiet zone and talk to other weirdoes across the planet!
Ah, gotcha! Less of circumventing rules and more being considerate. Calling it 'stealth' threw me. Thanks for the clarification.
