I’m going to start out with a portable EFHW and work QRP. Unfortunately my HOA restricts antennas so I’m going to need to figure out a stealthy long term solution for a base station.

For VHF/UHF I mounted a jpole in my attic and that works great. Not the most ideal but I may be able to do a dipole for HF up there.

Excellent! When I started on HF I did the EFHW as well. I was overwhelmingly impressed with the contacts I had with 100w and a wire! The HOA wrinkle does call for creativity, but there are countless others who have posted their workarounds on the interwebs and you might find something be helpful to you. Good luck to you! 73
