[QUOTE="leighpreece, post: 321129, member: 246389"] Very creative setup mate - all pics and dishes look smart. I live in sight of a lot of high-rises - and they all have a walkway type balcony that the council have now enclosed (probably a health and safety thing) but can be accessed if you remove the window when required. I've a friend Alan who lives in one - he's put a pole across his walkway windows into socket type clamps either side (the kind you see that hold the bars on buses). He uses lighting clamps for his dishs to clamp them in place and has steel wires on for support attached to a weight inside the walkway. So far (last visit) he has a 45cm dish in place for 28.8, larger 'minidish' for 19E/13E and also his amateur radio aerials (a vertical for 2/70cm and dipole for 4m plus a wire dipole that stretches to his lounge window one side and main staircase windows on the others. Think I spotted a DAB dipole too as the windows can be seen from my daughters school yard and I always look at them when I collect her in the afternoon. I asked if the council said anything about it - he said yes as the block manager had called them for him - but as the dishes and aerials can easily be removed due to the clamps, they've told him they consider them 'temporary' and he can take them away if he moves out. (Just don't think they've found the 'longwire' aerial that goes up from his flat to the flat roof yet - hee hee!!!!) Leigh.... [/QUOTE]
