Antenna might get a bit tricky here        ML> in an apartment complex; have to check and see...              There is an excellent book called "Small Antennas for Small Spaces" published        by the ARRL you should get. You'd probably solve your problem.              A buddy of mine just loads up the gutters on his four-story apartment building        at night. Seriously. He has a ground rod right next to the bottom spout and        he hooks up a modified RG-8X cable...works 10-160 meters with an antenna        matcher. :D              I personally have loaded a small bridge on a country road before with 100W of        power and worked Australia with it. :P              73,       Sean KD5COL       https://www.kd5col.us              ...
