Default Antenna Stealth

Has anyone put up stealthy outdoor wire antenna where it really maybe
kinda probably shouldn't be?

YEP !!! ;-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
S T E A L T H A N T E N N A

MATERIALS

Some Stranded, Insulated copper wire from Radio shack
Colors so it matches the bricks / outside of your building

Some stick-on Cord holders
One tube clear Silicone sealer glue
One black magic marker
One Rusty red magic marker
A roll of Duct tape color of outside of apt.

One Mop
One piece of twine or string.
One Small soft edged weight.

PROCEDU

See how far it is in between two windows of your Apt..

Measure out a piece of string this distance + ~ 6 - 8 feet.
Attach a small soft edged weight to it.

( Look Outside to see no one is looking !! )

Secure curious household pets

Open Both Windows.
Insert mop part way out one]
Close that window to secure mop handle

Run over to the other window QUICK!
Take the twine with the weight on it & (without risking life & limb)
Toss the string over the mop sticking out the other window.
Secure the end of that end of the string with a bit of slack
Close that window
Run over to the other window with the mop that has the twine handing down off
it

Pull the mop in
Close the window.

( Breath deeply )

NOW....

Attach the stranded wire to the end of the string.
Slightly open window
Run over to the oher window.
Open it & pull in string until wire / string connection is through..

Pull in enough so that wire will reach SWR
Attach wire to SWR.
Close window.

- That's basically it. Modify as needed.

You can take Square stick -on cord holders
Camouflage them with magic Marker color , &
Silicone glue them to the outside corners of the window,
Then loop more wire

( DONT FALL OUT WHEN DOING THIS !!)

around the cord holders. This makes the antenna longer.
repeat for other windows..This should help lots..

( Works for me !!)

Do a Google search on this group for that subject. Next year, after you have
finished reading all that has been written about it, you can start putting
up your antenna.

Why not put up some "wireless cable". I saw someone offering such cable
for network use on ePay and he got some bids up to more than 10 EUR
for this etra lightweight and nonvisible "cable". :-)

Now to get real. For receiving longwave and mediumwave it is a known
secret to use a rain-gutter as antenna -if it is build of metal-. And it
is worth a try to check out how it works on higher freqs. Just take an
alligator clip and a piece of wire and connect it to your RX.

You can put some push pins up in the corner of your room and wrap as much
wire as the pins will hold around the pins .. not ideal, but the more wire
in the air, the more signal. The drawback is noise. If you can get wire into
a tree, use black plastic insulated wire - very hard to see .
