cheap coax can too, I have a diamond x200 about 10 feet over my roof and 
though I'm far from my neighbors, I have yet to bother anything with that 
setup in this house and actually I used to bother things with my 10 meter 
antenna and since I put good coax on it all I bother is my computer speakers 
on wet days, and after 5 minutes of operating it goes away. Even on vacation 
I run a yoyo antenna around the raining on the deck and up to 50 watts on 
HF, no problem, Idon't go above that because the neighbors are just barely 
20 feet away, I put a 2 meter/440 mobile antenna on the railing too with no 
problem. I know I'm strange but for rainy days and boring nights it's a huge 
help since we get 3 TV channels and I don't bother with TV anyway so I need 
something to do. It's usually HF though I setup the 2 meter/440 too for some 
nets I like.
