| The HOA is probably concerned about large antennas on the top of your house that you can easily see. You should be OK setting up a dipole or maybe vertical in your back yard. Make friends with your neighbors so they don't complain. I recommend a dipole for 15 m as your first antenna. Put it up in a tree or along your ridge peak with lightning protection. You will need to drive a ground rod for the lightening protection. |

| I am planning to make a folded balun for an EME antenna (https://ham.stackexchange.com/questions/3591/how-does-a-folded-balun-work). I have a NanoVNA. How do I connect the VNA to measure if the balun is tuned to the correct frequency? |

| Adding coils at the feed point will in effect increase the electrical length of the antenna which should bring down the swr. You will still need an antenna tuner with a very wide range to match it. |
