I have had a wonderful experience operating from hotels. I often use a Buddistick or Outbacker Tri-Split with four counterpose wires (one for each band) cut to frequency for both 20 and 40 meters strung across the hotel room. I have also used the AD5X dipole that Phil describes on his Web site. Wires dangling from the room tends to invite problems at times. Every year I would attend a a professional conference in Honolulu and had a pipeline into Europe with 10 watts, all CW. The trick to minimize interference, it seems, is to have a good quality coax feed from the balcony to the rig. Don't give up on hotels. 73, de Dick, K8RBW
