My brother is a serious SWL'er with a recent model of Drake SW receiver. He
listens exclusively to 30MHz.

He has asked me (the family electronics geek) what his options are for an
antenna on his balcony. (The management doesn't allow anything on the roof of
the building.) The balcony is a roofed 6 ft x 8 ft affair.

Is it possible to put a loop antenna, coiled inside the balcony roof, each
coil being supported, possibly, by a custom plexiglas support in each corner?


I'm open to other possibilties, but with the limited space, I quickly run out
of ideas.



Is there something conductive nearby? Like a downspout or gutter?
Attach a wire
to that. Just be sure to put the hole for a screw in a spot that won't
cause a leak.
