Yep, I've never been in the "physically impossible" category,
fortunately. All my college dorm rooms had a tree in good proximity to
do the invisible random wire thing.

Plus when I was in college, 10m was hot, so my 30' long wire 15 feet
off the ground actually did something...

My apartment now is nice in that I have a balcony which gives me more
options as far as where I can mount temporary antennas and better shots
at the trees with a slingshot so I've got 100 feet of wire in the
air...

As far as the rules... I just try to be courteous to the neighbors by
keeping the power down and try to be relatively stealthy, but I'll tell
you, I'm sure the maintainance guys have seen my temporary mast and VHF
antennas occasionally in the mornings, and no one has ever said
anything. Of course, 45 minutes later when I go to work, there's no
trace of them...

If you're stuck inside steel frame dorm building... you're right, not
much to be done there...

Club station it is in that case...
