Hi Eric,
When I lived in an apartment I was fortunate to live on the second floor in
the back of the complex and I had a Butternut 9V vertical mounted to the
chain link fence that ran behind the complex.  The coax ran on an angle from
the antenna up to my apartment.  I drilled a hole in the siding and brought
the coax into the room.  Since I was in the back not too many people even
new it was there.  Besides, I thought it would be easier to ask for
forgiveness than permission.  Since I always paid my rent on time, my
landlord and I got along pretty good.         

Gary

Thanks Gary.

On another subject I'm thinking of setting up a low band station in a new 
apartment when I move in October.

I think I will be buying the Kenwood TS480SAT radio.

Would you or anyone else on this list have any recommendations for an 
apartment dweller's antenna system.

I plan to run no more than 20 watts.

I'm considering the B&W Vacationer or the MP One. Can't remember the 
manufacturer at the moment.

Any comments pro and con would be helpful.

I will have a second floor apartment with a balcony.

73,
