Heck, he should have hung a wire from the end as well.  In most cases it
would be invisible if you use the right stuff and you can always real it
in if you need to.  Gives new meaning to CQ fishing for a contact.

Subject: Flag Pole Antennas

I worked a guy on 15 meters one day, many years ago, who was running a
flag pole antenna.  He was 40 stories up and the owners of the building
wouldn't allow any antennas of any kind.  He found out they would allow
him to stick one of those poles out a window horizontally, from which an
American flag could be hung.  So he did that and loaded the short pole
and got out super loud on 15 meters with it.
