You may have already thought of this, but a Buddipole on your deck might work. I live on the second floor of an apartment building and use one on my deck. Not the best but when no other antennas are allowed/possible, it works.

I used to have an endfed wire that ran across the street to a phone pole...but new houses cut that off. There is a vent pipe on the back of the house that sticks up about 5 feet above the roof. So...I could try a loop on my roof(10 x 25 x 10 x 25), go over my neighbor's roof(20 x 25 x 20 x 25) use the other neighbor's roof (30 x 25 x 30 x24), or try to attach a light weight mast to the vent pole and go "up". QRN is very bad here. Any and all hints would be appreciated. Rig is the K2 with the autotuner. 73,Thom-k3hrn _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
