This reminds me of the story of K2SX, who many years ago lived next to the
Russian consulate (or some other Russian diplomatic outpost) in New York City.
Any time Dennis would go up on his roof to do antenna work, he drew a good
crowd of people watching and taking pictures of what he was doing.

Here's a link to a photo - taken by an Associated Press photographer, at the
Russian consulate in San Francisco on Friday, 09/01. Take a look and blow it
up to check out the aerials. Nice center-fed 2-wire doublet and some kind of
ground plane vertical to the left. Another single-wire doublet to the right,
and a dish, maybe for 432 MHz moonbounce. This is great news! - SF is often
a tough Section multiplier in the ARRL SS.
Who says radio is dead?
