A while back I thought I had a method for doing an outside antenna, but the HOA does not allow anything to be drilled, or nailed into the outside of the condo. But then I got to thinking a few plastic 3D printed C-Clamps could do the trick. << Something like this >> at Printables.com. All I would have to do is drill a hole in the turnscrew knob and I'd be in business. Printing in PETG would hold up to the weather and if printed in clear or a matching color they would never even notice. What do you think?

Slick idea. My experience on a condo balcony says do as much as you can to get the wire as far away from structure as practical. My Inverted Vs were about 12" out from any nearby objects. Worked 50+ DXCCs on 5 bands (20 thru 10). I just changed out wires for the band-de-jour.
