Hi;
First although I'm at least a week late welcome to the list.  The one 
very important thing I don't think you have mentioned is are you living 
in an apartment or do you own or rent your own home?  HF is going to be 
a challenge from an apartment.  If you live in your own home how much 
land is available and try and have a ham take a look and tell you if the 
power lines going to your home and neighbor's homes are out of the way.  
A nonham said this was a great open yard prior to purchasing the home. 
They had no vested interest in the transaction.  Long after closing a 
ham tells me that my neighbor's power line goes diagonally across the 
yard so be careful who you get info from.
Best of luck.
