Hello everyone. I am wondering if any of you guys could help me. I just got my general ticket in February and I am looking to set up my shack for HF. I am lucky that I have no HOA restrictions to deal with, and a pretty sizeable yard for being in a city, so I look to take advantage of that size to put up a wire that can operate on multiple bands. I have been considering an endfed half wave about 141' in length, or an ocf dipole roughly 84' and 30' from the feedpoint. My issue is no sizeable trees anywhere near enough. The wife is not keen on a mast in the middle of the yard where I could put in proper guying. One solution I have considered is using the house to secure a mast. I would sink the bottom section a few feet into concrete. Then secure it to the exterior of the house using wall mounts. The peak of the roof is roughly 22' above the ground so I would just get it to about 30' and a fix the balun right on the mast and run the wire plus mount my lightweight 2m/70cm antenna on the top. My question is would this be secure enough?
