A good tuner helps.

What about getting your appt on the top floor, then you can squeeze
something up top a dipole or two.

you know there are a lot of computer programs that allow you the use of ham
bands online. That is an option.

Any trees around you could rap a wire around? Any grounded towers already on
the roof you can shunt feed?

Some nice omni albanders out there very expensive, just get them high as
possible. Or go mobile, get one of those vehicles with huge antennas on and
drive to the mountain top and do your transmitting there. Lots of
possibilities.

Those of you who are using apartment antenna I would love to know of
your experience.

Now that satellite dishes are allowed on most apartments, is there a
trend to use an MFJ loop antenna?

What are the real results with QRMing satellite dishes?

RFI in apartmements in general?

I am sure that putting a loop where the satellite dishes go would work
great.

What power levels are people using in apartments.

I don't think I would want a loop inside due to high voltages.

Look forward to hearing from you all.

I like full wave horizontal loops for the low noise receiving, a hiqh Q
transmit antenna on the patio is kind of cool; another type of barbecue.
I'd stick to CW/digimodes and under 100 Watts.


i live in an apt, roof is about 200ft up i have several center fed
dipoles, a end fed /sleve dipole, i also had a small multiband beam
all worked great dipoles were fantastic

good luck
