Somewhere I recall seeing an article on homebrewing a windowsill
antenna similar to the B&W AP-10. Does anyone have a copy they
could email me, or a link where I can find the information. I was
hospitalized for serious problems and all my ham gear including many
books were donated to the local ham club -- I'm starting again from
scratch after 54 years of hamming, but on a much smaller scale!

Thanks for any assistance in this matter.

Shortly after getting my ticket I spent nearly a year in OKC going to
computer school living in a 2 story apartment. To get on the air I use
about 15 ft of EMT conduit and built a little LC tuner of scrounged Cu
tubing and a cap out of a 5 tube AM radio. Picked up a CB VSWR meter
at a yard sale for a tuning indicator. Later picked up an MFJ tuner at
a hamfest, wahoo. Balcony railing was my counterpoise.

I spent 26 years in the Navy ('57 to '83) moving from place to
place. Whether onboard ship, in navy Quarters, or after marriage
in apartments and houses, I always managed something similar. Following
retirement I became somewhat of an expert in helping other hams
setting up concealed or low profile stations. I had a marvellous
collection of assorted parts and pieces with which I could easily
throw something together. Two years ago, following a serious
illness, I sold my house and moved into an assisted living facility.
I donated all my ham radio equiment, books, junkbox, and so on
to the local ham club -- a real 50 year old treasure collection
which I wish I had today! I'm well again, or at least well enough
that I'm going back into hamming -- starting from scratch. I'm
really looking forward to being on the air again,
As we say in Calgary, aka Cowtown, Yahoooooooo!

Good for you Irv, and I'm glad you are doing better.
Modest antennas can be fun, particularly when sunspots cooperate!
