I have a setup like this in my bedroom. It is behind a dresser that has a TV on it. The TV, when on, really messes with the signals. I lose about 1/3rd of the aircraft even with a cavity filter.
Thanks 
Yours is nice and compact. Since I bought the FA pro stick, I needed a pig tail to connect it to the FA antenna, which was a bit hard to find but I was finally able to find one online.
I have the blue FA Pro Stick Plus also, but found that I still needed the FA filter.

Any examples of antennas which hide well from HOAs?
Easiest way is up a hollow patriotic fibreglass flagpole that doesnt have a metallic finish.
another often used approach is to hide a vertical antenna inside a plumbing vent, which includes extending one or more rooftop vents by a foot or two.
and if you use a simple ground plane (4 or 8 leg spider), remember, that’s only a few inches tall – very hard to spot.

Hello!
Sharing my current setup on my 3 story house.
This is the antenna mounted on a square PVC support I made long ago for another project. It is at 9 meters up on the tower and “facing” north, the tower itself and many tall buildings to the south of my location limit my horizon visibility towards that direction but I don’t worry about that because there are like 4 other people feeding at the other side of those buildings.
The coax then runs down the tower and through a ventilation opening it comes to the FlightFeeder sitting atop my 10/100 switch:
I plan to install the antenna all the way up in the mast supporting the beams to increase my coverage which now at 9 meters is quite obstructed because of trees and apartments (at the very top I have complete visibility to the west, north and east), but will try later on.
Regards, Yanni
I went with the KISS approach, and just have a little hook on the wall in the loft room. However, I’m still getting over 1400 planes and 400k positions per day (FA stats), which is great, but I want more
How do you keep the prostick USB connection attached? Just connector friction?
Currently just connector friction, not ideal as if you look closely you can see the weight of the power cable swinging the Pi3 to left. I tried a USB cable, but that added a lot of noise, I’ve yet to add the ferrites you suggested. If I don’t add a usb cable, I’ll support the Pi3 in some way, but for now it work, and work well.
edit And make sure you have a good hook… minor damage to my dongle to antenna connector
I’ve used zip ties, rubber bands, or duct tape.
Each seemed equally effective.
I use one of these with a Nooelec antenna…

Would performance be acceptable, “dangling” an antenna from the top of a tall tree, with the coax, running into the house? I have some pecan trees that are very tall, with some very substantial limbs, very high. I could get 40 - 50 feet higher than my roof, but the antenna would not be stable. It would obviously swing in wind.
Any thoughts! I also have a fool, erh, friend, who will climb up there to place it!
Seems the “hang till dead” punishment I gave to my antenna last year, is now gaining popularity 
I’d like to put mine outside at some point but for now I put it in the attic, and I might even leave it there given I get pretty good coverage, 150mi easily and the odd hit at 250+.
so I just built a stand with piece of spare lumber I had lying around and screwed it in.

The actual flightfeeder is in my server rack which is in the basement.

I plan to build a shed and I might look at putting a mast on it, then I’d move everything to the shed, maybe even run it off a separate solar system.Would allow me to use a shorter coax cable too.
I am desperate. After I got my water issue solved, I had a week of good performance, then dropped off again. Need to do something. Once you have 400KM ranges, the 160 stuff is pretty hurtful!
