[TenTec] Ok, Off Topic, but long time no talk to folks...

I have found myself living in Southern California for the next 6 months.  Worse 
yet, in a 850 sq foot apartment.  While this is not ALL bad, it does create 
some real issues.
   
  That said...
   
  I'm contemplating running a sheet metal screw straight into the gutter that 
runs out side of my balcony.  It's about 20 feet tall, connected to a 30 foot 
wide section.  An Inverted L sorta...
   
  What would be the absolute best way to load this?  I'm on the second floor.. 
Can't put in a real ground system.  Should I get a 35 foot spool of wire and 
try to make a counterpoise by unrolling it?  I can snake it around my living 
room.
   
  Ok guys, let's hear your suggestions.
   
  Thanks,
  Dave
