Use a CB HT.


I just found this rule:


"There are no height restrictions for antennas mounted on vehicles or
for hand-held units (CB Rule 8)."
...


I was at the local electronics place for something to use for a
random-wire and mentioned that I couldn't put up any kind of permanent
SW receiver antenna. The guy there said one customer was in the same
situation, living in an apartment. His solution was to do only mobile
equipment, and he had dumped quite a bit of money into gear in his car.

The only way I could see doing this, was if you bought a smaller camper,
and put all your gear into that, with some kind of pop-up mast. Then you
could drive out to a rural area and have a comfortable, RF-noise-free*
radio shack to have your fun.

*(if you stuck to 12V gear, no 115v invertors)
