[Cliffdwellers] limited space antenna

[Hart]

I live in an apartment in a house on the third floor. Were I currently have
a butternut vertical mounted on the roof. The houses are in my area are
known as "row houses" because they are so close together. And the back yard
is smaller in length of a mid size car. At the back of the house I have a
fire escape, which I use to enter my apartment. I have a balcony that is
built on the roof of the house which is about 10' by 15' which I enter my
apartment through.  I'm not happy with my current vertical antenna and  I
wish that there was a way to design a low key but affective wire antenna for
all of the HF bands [80 - 15M].  The reason for my wanting a wire antenna is
that this vertical is very noisy especially when there is a subway line
running under the house.  I currently have a ft-2000 with a mfj-989d roller
inductor tuner. So tuning the antenna will not be a problem.  So...  I
thought by sending a note on this reflector that there would be someone out
there in ham land who could help me design a wire antenna for my current
situation.
