I have done a lot of this ... used an inverted L for 20 meters (tacked along the wall), a square 1 wavelength loop on 10 and 15 tacked on a wall (slightly elongated) a 20 meter helically wound vertical, and one of my favorites, a 2 element helically wound 10 meter beam (elements were physically 8 feet long. I used a wire from floor to ceiling with large loading coil at the ceiling and tacked a top hat around the perimeter of the the room along the ceiling. For what it was, it did ok on 40 and 80. Made almost 600 Qs one weekend in CWSS.

Oh yeah, there would always be one or two radials one the floor around the perimeter of the room.

Hope that gives you a few ideas.

Subject: [Elecraft] [k3] OT - Antenna for apartment use

I have a K3/10 SN 4052 that I would like to use in an apartment/condo with no outdoor access. Have looked at MFJ-1621as possibility. Any comments or other recommendations are desired.
