I live on the top floor of a 2 story apartment building with a flat roof. The Landlord has allowed me to put antennas on the roof. I have a dualbander vertical mounted on a tripod and mast. The problem is the roof is 30-40ft from the ground and so are my radios. I know running a ground wire from that distance can act as a antenna and cause problems with my nieghbors. If anyone has a suggestion on what to do I am all ears.

I have a Kenwood TR-9130 all-mode 2m radio. I would like to try working CW on it, but I don't know if it needs a keyer and if it does what would be the best one for the job. I also have a Yaesu FT-101 EX (waiting in the wings for my upgrade). Do I need a keyer for that as well or can I connect the key directly into the radio.
