   There is an excellent book called "Small Antennas for Small Spaces" published    
   by the ARRL you should get.  You'd probably solve your problem.   
      
   A buddy of mine just loads up the gutters on his four-story apartment building    
   at night.  Seriously.  He has a ground rod right next to the bottom spout and    
   he hooks up a modified RG-8X cable...works 10-160 meters with an antenna    
   matcher. :D   
      
   I personally have loaded a small bridge on a country road before with 100W of    
   power and worked Australia with it. :P
