Picture above is my old QTH in PA (1990-2009).

Picture below is my current condx. The pole is used to display the American flag, as permitted by The Freedom to Display the American Flag Act, 120 Stat. § 572 and CCIOA section 38-33.3-106.5. As I am in a condo, I cannot drill any holes to support it. Therefore, my flagpole is supported by wires which coincidentally are 1/2 λ on 40, 20 and 10m:
