My landlord is the coolest. After initially allowing me to put up one antenna, during a recent visit, he noticed how unobtrusive it appeared from the ground.
Sensing a favorable response, I asked him if he would okay a second one.
Every other apartment I ever lived in prohibited accessing the roof for any reason (let alone putting up two antennas), so this is a huge WIN.

Before I got married and moved into a house, my landlady was equally approving of my "Run of the Roof" in the apartment building she owned.
It was a large two-story commercial building, with 6 apartments on the second floor.
I was 50' above ground, with a clear 360* view. Really good for VHF/UHF stuff! -- One man's Magic is another man's Engineering. |

Forty years ago, I lived in a high-rise apartment building in Silver Spring, MD. When we moved in, I asked the building manager if I could put an antenna on the roof. She allowed me to put a fan dipole up there, and to hang the coax down to my apartment. The roof was about 150 feet or so above ground! To this day, I appreciate the ease with which I made contacts all over the world with my dipole and Heathkit SB-102.
Kudos to your landlord! I assume your antennas are well grounded. -- Microwave and RF Components at www.ohiomicrowave.com |
