Do you have the support arm for a window unit air conditioner by chance? I 
have my packet antenna mounted to that here. Fire escape ladder? You can put

I hardly ever use is hung in a tree in my front yard, the only limiting 
factor is creativity and just how far you want to go. There's always a way.
