If you can't fit a full-sized dipole or vertical antenna in your small urban lot, please try this suggestion from David Casler (KE0OG).
Dave shows how to connect several "Hamstick" antennas into a workable vertical or dipole antenna for restricted spaces.
Hamsticks can also be used for portable operations, such as Parks On The Air (POTA) and Summits On The Air (SOTA).

Here are some comments from Dave (KE0OG):
I received from Chameleon Antenna their CHA-QUAD ONE to review. I also bought some MFJ HF Mobile Ham-Tenna Whips. The CHA Quad ONE acts as a hub into which you can put either two Ham-Tenna or other Ham Sticks to create a short dipole, or add a second set to create a two band dipole. Watch to learn more about the items.
