Default apartment stealth antenna

this is kind of highjacking of the thread, but its an antenna question.

for a number of non-serious reasons, we have stopped full-timing for 6 months to be with family in Colorado.

So, today we signed an apartment lease, window sill is about 12 FT off ground, with pine trees close enough to sneak a random length wire out to a tree.

Assuming the DW allows the radio inside the living room, any thoughts about antennas?

we are on level 2 of a 3 level apt bldg.

will a tvi filter be enough to stay out of cable and satellite systems ? Will the problem more likely be in less than adequate shielding in all those Part 15 electronics out there?

where can I get a decent rf ground? not sure if water pipes are copper or plastic, haven't been inside yet.

OR, I could just go out to the storage yard where the trailer is stored and run the generator and operate without anybody around for hundreds of yards.

Just trying to have some ideas for some antenna things to play with over the winter.
