In general if you want an antenna you will work out something. They
aren't very hard to build. In 1976 I lived in California. I wanted to
get on the HF bands. The apartment I lived in was owned by a ham. His
wife would not let me have an antenna! TVI oe some such thing! I built
a helically wound dipole for 40 meters. I used it on 40 and on 15, with
a TS520 and various QRP rigs. I had very good success.
For vacations I would come here to the Washington, DC area. I wanted to
operate from my mother's condo. I devised a stealth antenna that used
#26 magnet wire. It would stay up only about 3 weeks because of winds
an such, but then I was only on vacation! I made it more permanent when
I moved back here in 1995. It worked DXCC and all states. Not too bad
for a predominately QRP installatiun!
If you really want an antenna you will find a way!
