If it is an old apartment, the plumbing might be copper all the way to the
ground. In a new one, you might want to check if there is plastic pipe
between you and ground.

Good luck,

Hi all. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to get on the air!
I'm in a big apartment building ... I have these hot water pipes which
feed radiators on every floor ... I'm on the 11th floor.

I'm thinking that I can throw 100' wire out the window (to radiate)
and ground to the hot water pipes. Thoughts? Any risk of damage to
the heating system? I don't know how the water's heated...

Thanks,
Rich
