A delightful and easy way to get on HF, ham sticks are superb for apt and condo dwellers when larger antennas can't be installed. These here are from Shark and also MFJ.
Hi Seamus it's a grate shame that you couldn't use a G5RV antenna from your balcony down to the trees and you probably would hammer out on all of the main HF bands I would ask your nabors if you could do that put some kind of wire antenna in the garden below and connect a run of coax up to your balcony in to your shack that's what I'd do but it's up to yourself what you want to do and what your happy with OK. Thanks and best 73's for now cheers. Stephen M3SNV 73's.

Nice setup Seamus, bands are good, so a decent resonant antenna will work.
A 49:1 unun, and 66ft wire sloping to the ground, you'll work the world 🌎
Quite brisk... ready for winter... 35°? Oh, that's definitely winter.
For us it's definitely cold! 😜
