   Tri-Bander for Small Condo Unit

   From: joelwendell@gmail.com   
      
   I as N3FSH am researching whether my confined condo space would permit an   
   small (mini) tri-bander transceiver, say 10-15-20, or are conditions still too   
   anemic in the 11-year cycle to make this practical. In the best of all worlds,   
   a "discreet" vertical    
   on the flat roof would facilitate a return to ham radio. But rapport with   
   other condo mates is good, and I don't want to endanger it.   
      
   An MSJ whip on the window sill might help me get out, despite being surrounded   
   by concrete and ribar construction, as mandated by VA condo law...or it might   
   not. An AN-1 used a few years ago in DC gave me fantastic results, but it is   
   today now, with    
   today's problems. Any thoughts? 73.   
      
   PS: Living in an apartment building is far different than living in a condo,   
   with one's own AC unit and furnace and RFI from one's cheek-to-jowl proximity.
