Hello fellow RR members, I just wanted to show what my appartment shack looks like. It's always a work in progress. Could not beleive the Manager of the appartments let me put up the antenna but hey I will not complain. LOL

Thanks for looking...

I am running the coax threw the window of my room, and the Antenna I am using right now is a Imax 2000. I do not have my general's yet so the Imax works good for me for 10 meters and SW listening.

Once you pass your General test, and you can start TX onHF, you will need to re-do that IMAX2000 antenna. You cant put those other antennas on the middle section, because thats an active radiating section. The bottom piece may be ok, since its the "ground / tuning" portion of the antenna.

If you can put the IMAX and other antennas a few feet apart, it would work a lot better.

Can you take a pic of the wire routing through the window. Id like to do something similar.

Very neat that the apartment let you put up the antenna, most apartments have a cow over any antennas..

Nice clean setup...

PS. I would also be interested in seeing the routing through the window.

I looked at this post earlier and didn't comment then but have to now. The irony of this is, I just talked to a guy last night on the radio, who was telling how he wanted to put up a wire antenna at the duplex he rents and the landlord said "No..unless you post a $5,000,000.00 bond"! And yes...you are reading that right...that is not to many zeros! You are very lucky, I'm envious.... and that is a real nice set-up!!! Good job...
