[Elecraft] Apartment/condo antenna

How about a 33 foot flagpole?  It's a start.  You could always drop a
counterpoise to the ground floor.  Some condo / apartment folks use
Tarheel or Hi-Q mobile antennas as well.  I've heard that some work
well.  Maybe you could put a small flag at the business end.

Sorry, I don't know anything about the MFJ1622, but it sounds like
it's probably small aperture.  I'm not a big fan of anything with MFJ
printed on it; years of experience trying them convinced me.
