Don't know, but I'm sure I can find out...

Impossible to get to the roof, but like Sean mentioned, the gutter system might
 prove to be an efficient radiator/receiver.  RG8U might be tricky to route out
 of the apartment without being obvious, but I can probably find a way to do it
 w/o it becoming an issue with the management.  Been here for about 8 years
now, so they really don't come snooping around my apartment at all; they get
their rent on time every month so they really don't have any reason to come
here other than an occasional maintenance call.

I don't think I'll have much of a problem, if any, with the technician license.
  I'm already a CET (since 1990) in 3 different disciplines (Pro Audio,
Consumer and Industrial Electronics with a sub specialty in computer repair.) 
Admittedly it's been a LONG LONG LONG time since electronics school and the
antenna design/implementation part of the course. Graduated from the 2.5 year
school in 1969!

73,
Marc
