Stealth Antennas

Hamstick Vertical 001 
This is the antenna I use for 30 meters, and occasionally 40 meters.  It is very stealthy, and quick to put up and take down.  The hamstick is seated in a 3/8 x 24 connector that is mounted on a Hustler VP-1 Tri-Band Adapter.  The legs are threaded rods cut to 12 inch lengths.  I use two radials per band.  The radials in the picture are for 10, 15, 20, and 40 meters.  30 meters works great with these.  This is a quick and inexpensive way to get on the air when you cannot put up a tower or throw up a wire dipole.
 
Have fun with it.
