I once operated from a 7th floor hotel room with a W6MMA MP-1 (which 
Elecraft used to sell--the paint color on the coil matched my K2, which 
increased the mojo).  I placed it inside next to the window and made 
several contacts of 1000 - >3000 miles on 20m running 5W (propagation 
was much better than it has been recently).

Bob, N7XY
