Quite a few years ago I had an older blind ham friend that lived in a retirement home. He was not allowed to put out any antennas and he came up with this idea. Right outside his window was the down spout for the rain gutters. He found where it went to the ground and then had another ham friend replace the elbow from aluminum to pvc which insulated it. From his room he attached a wire from his receiver to the down spout. They then snaked another wire to the cold water pipe in the bathroom. He often stated that it was the best and cheapest antenna that he ever used.
