[Elecraft] Non-portable Antenna (roof)

[Mike Markowski]

Not a portable solution but an interesting story is that a friend here at
Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD had the same concerns and by chance was assigned a
top floor room in barracks.  It turns out his window frame is connected to a
metal shroud wrapping around the bldg, and the shroud is connected to metal
roof.  His 1-band 40m qrp rig tunes up and he's making qsos on it at 5W!
