Building stealth antennas takes skill and ingenuity. The skill is required to build an antenna that will perform well for the frequency desired. The ingenuity part comes into play when it comes time to hide the antenna from prying eyes. It might appear that wire antennas are the antennas used the most and that is likely true. However, that does not mean that beam and verticals antennas can't be hidden. For instance, take a look at how this VHF beam was hidden in the attic area of this building. Granted that it may not work as well as it ideally would while mounted higher up and outside but it is hidden quite effectively. Note that this antenna is a directional beam antenna so the signal going out is increased and its ability to receive signals is also increased.

What Other Ways Can Be Used?

There are many but here are a a couple ideas to get your "idea factory" working on your own stealth antenna ideas.

This type of stealth antenna has been discussed elsewhere on this web site but it was decided that it should be included on this page. Can't see the antenna yet? Just take a look at Old Glory wafting in the breeze and you will see the antenna. Give up? It's the flagpole! These flagpole vertical antennas are popping up all all over the place, especially where outside antennas are restricted or forbidden altogether. If you wish to erect any sort of flagpole antenna such as this one then you might want to be sure there aren't restrictions on flagpoles in the area where you wish to erect it. Some homeowner associations have an even more restrictive policy towards communications by stating that no radio emissions are allowed. Of course this would not apply to shortwave listening but it is best to check first. The flagpole antennas are permanent as they require a concrete base under them and this might keep them from being used in some survivalist situations.

Stealth antennas. The owner of this home has built a loop antenna that literally circles his house and no one is the wiser. Take note of the coax exiting the attic vent and running over to the balun¹ which is connected to the wire running around the eaves of the house. Wire loop antennas like this one are quite effect and stealthy as well. Along with this is the fact that loop antennas tend to be broadbanded and can readily used on more than one band.

Well, about the time you think you have seen it all there comes around Stealth antennas. something like the antenna to the right of your screen. It is manufactured by Rohn Products and should hide any antennas systems contained within fairly well. Of course it will also tend to make people stop and point thereby drawing more attention to it than one might desire. Nevertheless, it shows what can be done to hide your antenna.
