Can you put it in the attic? If so, you could possibly construct a
groundplane to mount the antenna on. A large peice of metal would probably
act like a car body to mount the antenna to. Another possiblility would be
to put the antenna up in the corner as you want with several groundplane
radials (9ft long) running along the floor.

It looks like I may be answering my own question. I need a
counterpoise! I will work this one out, but any tips on creating a
counterpoise would be most appreciated.

Which one (I'm thinking about the magnet mount, but what would I
connect it to), and how would I make this work?

I doubt that I will be able to put up a dipole in my living room, and
I've got just enough room in the corner where my radio is located, so
I am wondering if I can put up one or the other of these antennas. I
have a Wilson 5000, which I sometimes use when I'm mobile, and I'm
able to talk skip with that (which will be my goal in this
application). Any thoughts or ideas on installation? How would I
ground this thing? Wilson 5000 or Wilson 5000 Trucker? I'm still
reading to find out which gets the better results, and that would be
the one I would want.

Thanks.
