finally reached 20 posts! Thanks Admin!

Here is where my antenna is mounted...on top of one of those unused AC units. It's a 102" on a mag mount and a spring. Been talkin all over the place and it's almost invisible from the street!

that's awesome, but I'd be mounting an A-99 or something to that sign post!!! It still wouldn't stick out and folks would just think it's for a marine radio. Nice setup, dude! 8)

The maintenance guy told me the A99 is possible but I'm afraid I'll get busted by the landlord....in lease agreement, no antennas on building.

The 102" whip gets out plenty good but my rx could probably be better..almost like a pickup on the roof up there!

It sure is a nice view but, I'm on the backside of the building... :( :( :( :(

lol, I hear ya man. You've done well with an excellent compromise. No need to cause a scene and screw up a good thing!!! especially when you already have support of someone on the inside... 8) Take care dude and happy DX-ing.
