OK, I'm moving out of my tin can on wheels into a nice condominium...and we all know what that means! Anyway, I'm not ready to give up doing the Caribbean feed, so I need some suggestions. I was thinking about Radio Shack magnetic wire and stringing it along the ceiling in a sort of loop configuration. What do you all think?

If you're talking about the HF feed and presumably a long wire of some sort, it needs to be outside.  You'll get too much interference from things like the TV, PC, vacuum's, florescent lights etc if you put the antenna indoors.

The dipole antenna works well with HF I find.  Whereabouts in the US are you?
