I have a MFJ 1622 and am on a 2nd floor
apartment. It actually works quite well clamped
to my balcony railing, as long as the
counterpoise is run out correctly. That's
actually the biggest problem with my area. It's
a bit hard to hide the counterpoise since it has
to go down to the ground first and vegetation
around here is sparse. I've tried it in vertical
position inside my balcony, and while I was
still able to make some contacts on HT65, it was
better with it clamped to the railing and
sticking out.
The MFJ might be a bit big to pass off as a flag
pole though. The coil portion is about as big
around as a soda can and with the whip extended
the total length is around 70" long.
I've heard good things about the MFJ Super Hi-Q
loop antennas.. they can be mounted vertically
inside the balcony area. They are bit pricey
compared to the 1622 though.

I am moving to a condo on the 2nd floor of a
brick and concrete building. The condo rules
do not allow anything to extend over the
balcony railings. However, they do allow flag
pole to be "clamped" to the railing of the
balcony. I have considered an mfj 1622 antenna
inside of a pvc pipe as my flag pole. Any ideas?
