Thank to Julian Frost (N3JF) for this truly inspiring video about operating from an apartment while he visited England.
Despite the restrictions, Julian was able to make several good contacts on the European continent with his temporary antenna.
Perhaps, you could do the same thing Julian did.

Here are some comments from Julian (N3JR):
Julian Frost (N3JF), your Ham Radio Sensei, traveled back to England over the Christmas holidays and took the opportunity to do a little ham radio operating. Armed with the prerequisites for operating under CEPT rules, he set up a antenna from his dad's 3rd floor flat (apartment) and made contacts around Europe. If you live in an apartment, maybe you can do something similar?

Bernie does an excellent job of explaining the pros and cons of this popular HF antenna from the late Louis Varney (G5RV). Although Varney envisioned his design primarily as a 3/2 wavelength antenna for the 20 meter Amateur Radio band, radio amateurs have used the antenna for multiband use. The G5RV is an excellent choice for the 20 meter band. Performance on other HF Amateur Radio bands is good enough to qualify as stand alone HF antenna if you can only erect one HF antenna.

Don't let deed-restricted properties (HOA/CC&R) stop you from enjoying Amateur Radio. In this video from AC2RJ, we see how some well-placed trees, a camera tripod, a telescoping fiberglass mast, and a "V" antenna can get you on the air without a lot of effort. Add an antenna "tuner", a sturdy rig, such as the Yaesu FT-817, a microphone/cw key, and a simple grounding system, and you have a fully functional, nearly invisible ham station in your backyard.

Here's a way to use Amatuer/Ham Radio while you work on shedding a few pounds in useful exercise. Why not equip your bicycle for 2 meter/70 cm mobile operation? In this short, well-made video, "taverned" shows us how he used a mag mount antenna, a simple C clamp, and a basic ground system to convert his mountain bike into a mobile station. The project is straight forward, simple, and gives you emergency communications while you peddle down the road.
