Ok, my 9-year old is really getting bitten by the radio bug and we only have a mobile right now. It is a great mobile but I think it is time to have a rig in the apartment.
I've made them work before, with a vice grip on a metal railing and a 108" SS whip.
I'm on the bottom floor currently, with some trees in our "back yard". I'm thinking a dipole may be the best option here?
What can I expect in "loss" when talking with locals as far as polarization goes? I can't get up into the trees but I can certainly throw some line up there and draw the dipole up higher than I can ever hope to get a vertical.
Pros and cons?
