And how does the AX1 perform from inside your Apartment? What floor are you on?

Hi all,
I live in a senior apartment. There is no balcony so my best is the Elecraft AX1 with the extra 40 mtr coil right next to the window. No fiddling just assemble.Set the dip switch for the band and you are on the air. 10 min max and if you change freq retune the ATU.

Hmm not a a permanent situation but I tried for years now to put up a small antenna, end fed whip etc when at my condo.  I ended up with an AlexLoop and never looked back.  Best contact was on 20 meters, 2,000 miles on 2 watts, SSB on 17 meters.

I don't like the idea of dropping a wire from the balcony. The wind could cause trouble. Im thinking of a loop. I've had good luck with them. Any thoughts?
