I've been thinking about antennas for my Model 20 and other radio projects. I live in a high-rise apartment building, so running wires into an attic or to a roof aerial are out of the question.
However, the building I live in is a 1950s Mid Century deal of poured concrete with the outer wall entirely made up of floor to ceiling glass surrounded by steel framework/support. I'm thinking the whole building could be the antenna. Bonus is I have a direct, almost uninterrupted line to the towers that broadcast our stations just 5 miles away.
Could I run antenna leads to underneath the steel sill of my living room window and tap it in with sheet metal screws?
