Using a beam antenna would certainly help direct your signal and minimize bleed over for your friends. However, if everyone is within close proximity it may not help enough or at all. Good luck....... 73's

Sounds like just plain old volting the final. Those old 1969's are fairly rugged but may not last as long as you'd like leaving it volted. Plus, on the receiving end no one is probably going to notice much of a difference. Just my 2 cents and no offense intended..... 73's.
