Hey everyone! Hope all is well on your end. I cannot thank everyone enough for being so helpful with all of this. I am definitely on the right track and in good care with you all! Just got off the blower with the landlord, and he said he doesn't care what I do as far as mounting something up on the roof. So with that option available, my antenna options should open up much more I'm hoping. I think I found a great spot in my house to set up the rig! It is a well-lit countertop designed for sitting at, it has electrical outlets nearby and would have its own area set aside. What I'm hoping makes this an even better spot is that when I went outside to look around for a spot, I noticed that the roof peaks to its highest point right above the area I want to put my station. There is an old cable line outlet coming into my house right where the station will be, and it is directly below the peak, so in theory if I mounted it up there and ran a few feet of cable down the side of the building into that outlet, it would be right there.


What's also nice is the portion of the building this is all taking place in is above my apartment only, basically as far away from neighbors as one could be in the same building.

 I'm on the hunt now for the supplies you have so kindly recommended. Hopefully will be able to place a big order this evening. Where I'm at now is trying to find what type of antenna would work best for me now. I could take pictures to better describe this setup if needed.

As always thanks everyone. My general exam study book shipped today so I'm excited to get started into it. BTW- I'm learning a lot from the chat function on this website! haha!
