Living in a condo has it's challenges and opportunities for ham radio. I have often read about fellow hams living in restrictive antenna neighborhoods, it seems to be more common place now than in the past. In the past it only affected amateurs who either lived in apartments or those who were in townhouses. Now we are all to familiar with new housing developments and how antennas of any type are prohibited. Now and then you read about legal action taken against radio amateurs regarding antennas and or towers. In which legal costs can sky rocket in a very short time. There are no guarantees in the end that your tower and or antenna will be allowed to stay up. Here is a pick of my state of the art cutting edge world class antenna farm.

| 40 meter mobile whip dipole |
The 20 meter dipole in the attic I run 5 watts into this antenna and have had great success with it. I also have made dipoles out of mobile whip antennas this allows me to get the lower bands into an attic installation
. At the moment I am planning to install an
Alpha Delta DX-EE. This will allow me to remove the dipoles allowing me some room for VHF/UHF antennas as well as 6m.
WELL THE ALPHA DELTA DX-EE IS UP AND RUNNING !!
