I use to love working 20 meters while I was at school but the antenna restrictions/apartment living drove me nuts. Here'; /archives//html/Towertalk/2008-10/msg00519.html (9,235 bytes)

You don't need a GROUND, but you do need a counterpoise. If your dorm has a steel frame, or if there's other large continuous metal, that would work quite well.
