Years ago in QST (I think it was) I read an article about a NYC Ham who
worked WAC by loading up the metal fire escape outside his building!

Well, I've been using a Tarheel 100A screwdriver antenna mounted to a tripod
on my balcony.  I live in NYC.  It's small enough to go mostly unnoticed.  I
also have an SB-220 hooked up to it, and it handles the power well.  It's a
compromise antenna, but it works fine considering what I'm up against.  I
worked a Russian and Slovenian station last night on 20m FB with this setup.
