Are you meaning antennas for the garden? perhaps give us a layout so we can recommend. I have been in contact with a few stations in Honk Kong recently. Both were working from their apartments in apartment blocks with a mixture of long wires around their flat or mobile antennas on their balconies. So you can work anywhere, but sometimes you'll need to make compromises
