Hi;
My wife and I were looking over our new home this afternoon and she found 
the perfect spot for my hf vertical.  She determined that it would be out of 
the path and inconspicuous if it were in the corner of the lot.  Tried 
explaining ground radials and that I thought that the center of the yard 
would give me lots of room for radials.  I was given the logical answer that 
it would look ugly right out in plain sight.  This should prove to be an 
interesting long term discussion.  Then again I could just put up a tower 
and really be out in the open.
