I'm going off to college this week, and I'm bringing my IC-746 with me. I only plan on using 2 meters occansionally, and have shortwave on in the background while doing work or something. Any time I seriously want to get on the air I can do it from the campus station with proper antennas. I'll be in a dorm room, first floor, so I won't have the ideal location for an outdoor antenna. What's a good antenna to use in a dorm room for AM and SW? Thanks in advance... I lived in an apartment building a bunch of years ago and was told "NO ANTENNAS!!" So of course I put one up anyway. What I did was I purchase a bunch of feet of thin wire colored about the same as the exterior of the building. I ran it out my window and along discrete morter joints and places where I could hide it on inside corners of places where little brick ledges jutted out until I found a discrete place to go vertical. Little bits of colored putty or even tack weld it every couple of feet with glue. Worked great and was never discovered. |
