This probably won't change anything, but I will describe my 43' ground mounted vertical antenna. I don't live in a HOA and have a large back yard, so I don't worry about hiding anything. You can see the top of the antenna over my roof, but no one seems to be bothered by it. Some of the neighbors have been curious, but that's it.
The antenna is a
DXE Thunderbolt. They still offer a Thunderbolt, but it is different than mine. I have it placed in the back yard spaced at least 40' away from everything. If it fell down, it wouldn't touch any structure or anybody else's property. The antenna is mounted on a 4' section of pipe that is pounded into the ground. If I used a concrete base, I probably wouldn't need the four guy ropes. But the guying keeps the movement at a minimum. The antenna is mounted on a Tilt Base for ease in raising and lowering.
At the base of the antenna I have 16 - 32' radials connected to a plate. The radials are "combed" into the grass and sit at ground level, along with the coax (50' - 60' of RG-214). I use a lawn tractor to mow the lawn and never had any issues with the coax or the radials. Both are completely invisible and I just run them over with the mower. In a arial view from
Google, you can just barely see the center of the antenna. Also at the base, and feeding the vertical, is a DXE-UN-43 4:1 Balun.
Inside by shack I currently use a old Dentron Jr. manual tuner. I tried using a MFJ-941D manual tuner, but the Dentron had better range. With this setup I can tune any band 40 to 10 Meters. The settings are easily repeatable on the tuner. On 160 and 80 Meters, the tuning isn't so good (SWR 2.6:1) but I don't use those bands anyway. I purchased a remote tuner recently (MFJ-926B), but I am waiting for better weather to install it. That may do better on 160 and 80. If not there are range extenders available from MFJ that can possibly help.
I have looked at the antenna with my NanoVNA H4, but haven't done any real analysis.
