I'm in a one story apartment.  My window is right at the site where my antenna
is located.  The antenna is an hv8 (think its a Commet) only at about 15ft on a
pole just above the roof line.  That's all they will let me put up.  Its one of
thos all band things that covers 80m through 70cm.  It essentially looks like a
double decker ground plain except that the spokes are parallel to the ground.

There's no reason that I couldn't put a second ground rod in near my antenna
ground.  I just hadn't done it because my understanding is that having the rf
and antenna grounds that close together was undesirable.
