If you have attic access, I wouldn't hesitate to put something up there.  I was fortunate enough to have a building with a relatively high peaked roof, large enough I could fit a full size dipole made of electric fence wire and insulators.  I had to put it in at night by cutting a lock off the attic access panel and then quietly crawl over people's units without making too much noise.  I had the coax drop down a wall and run into the laundry room through a BNC decora plate.  It was quite stealthy and worked pretty well.  Our area was prone to lightning hits, so something inside was preferred, despite all the noise that an apartment building has.

Wow this is so very cool. I don't think I could do this.

Great thanks so much for the comments. I am a ham radio operator and when I operate HF I go to a park and operate portable.  But when I am home at the apartment I want to use my HF radio for shortwave reserve.

The Princeton SkyWire is a 66 foot, off center fed SWL dipole with 22 feet on one side and 44 feet on the other. It is designed to provide excellent receive performance from the medium wave broadcast band to 30 MHz. While its rugged construction is well suited for the harshest environments, it is equally at home indoors in an attic or overhead space. The wire can be bent, zig-zaged or other wise routed to accommodate limited space installations. SO-239 input.
