I second the mag loop antenna or hidden antenna idea like they use in The Villages
https://www.k4vrc.com/uploads/1/0/1/5/10156032/present-tvarc_antenna_guide.pdf and portable operation when the wife has other activities with her lady friends..... if Ham Radio is the hobby that puts a smile on your face (and in your heart) there are “ways” to enjoy it. If you give up this easily Ham Radio isn’t high on your list and I understand. I had radio before my wife came into the picture and she still complains about my wires in the back yard occasionally but I could complain about her buying scrap booking supplies but never using them or garage saleing buying more stuff that the grandkids don’t need or want ..... there are trade offs. It has worked for 45 years. Just my not so humble opinion. David J.
