Re: [IRCA] how do I hide my outdoor antennas?



Eric,

You say "balcony" without describing it. Is it wooden or metal. If metal, you could try connecting directly 
to the balcony. If wood, why not try a flat metal stip along the inside of the balcony, connecting to the 
strip; and then painting over the strip?

Also, a metal plate sandwiched between two rubber mats and covered by a rug may work well. 

Even a connection to a metal chair may do it.

Keep us posted.

  greetings,


  I am living in an apartment with a balcony, and presently have a whip
  (antenna end of an MFJ 1024), and a multi-element scanner type antenna on
  siad balcony.  (I also have a 'longwire' routed out via the balcony, but I
  have to think this is not going to be an issue.)

  However, the landlord has just decreed that among other things, antenna are
  not allowed on the balcony.

  I suppose I could try appealing their decision . . . but having seen many
  pics of hidden or concealed cell phoen antennas, I wonder if anyone knows of
  ways I can "hide" these devices . . .

  any ideas will be welcome - thanks
