John:
Not sure how much space indoors you have? This antenna is a nice one and
requires around 60 feet, but I imagine you could bend the ends if needed?
I have used this antenna in a number of locations and it works well especially
40 thru 10. You will need a tuner. It is a variation on the W5GI Mystery
Antenna, but a lot shorter.
Good luck.
