I'm very limited on space, and 99% sure I'm getting an Icom 7000 simply because it's all band. I can get an auto tuner the same size as the radio, so that will save space.
Now the fun part. My wife has no problem with store bought antennas. Home made and she frowns. (she pays the bills). Heres the little bit I Think I know.
I will need a good verticle antenna for 2m/440. No restrictions on putting one up on my 2 story roof on a tripod mount. I already have a rotor TV antenna that needs to come down. The motor even works.
Now I'm lost on the 6 to 160 meter antennas.
I doubt any one antenna would cover all.
She does not want wires strung in our trees.
Would a Yaqui with my rotor help?
What are my choices, and it would help if I had pictures to show her.
Could be HF might not happen for me. It's not worth a war at home over an antenna farm.
Thanks
