here is a method for getting an antenna outside when its impossible to get an
antenna outside..
Dan / NYC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
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
A roll of Duct tape color of outside of apt.

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

PROCEDU

snip

If stealth is a major issue I suggest getting some #20 hookup wire and
a 1 or 2 ounce fishing sinker. Attach the sinker to one end of the
wire and when listening to shortwave drop this out the window, then
take the free end and either wrap it around the whip antenna about 7 -
10 turns or strip off some insulation and directly connect it to the
whip, when done pull the wire back inside. This works best with the
upper floors of the building. If you're on a lower floor go ahead
with Diverd4777's plan, but I recommend using 'magnet wire' of maybe
#24 or so as it is very difficult to see unless you're up very close.

Good luck,
Howard
