I recently acquired a Hammarlund HQ-129-X, and I was wondering if anyone had
tips on effective antennas for someone living in a first floor apartment. I do
NOT have the capability for ANY outside antennas...

A good friend of mine has a loop around the perimeter of his living room
up by the ceiling, with an impedance matching transformer, and coax to
his multi coupler, and then to several HF radios.

It performs surprisingly well.

The antenna wire is white wire wrap wire - thin, and blends in with the
walls so it's hard to see. He holds it up with white thumb tacks.
You'd never notice it unless you were looking for it.

Of course the racks in the living room are not so well hidden.
