Will be using a long wire strung around inside of the house for now when I
get my tabletop. Where the radio will be there are no pipes etc, what is the
best way to ground, can I use the center screw of the electric outlet. Been

You probably won't hear any differently with a ground.

And be careful where you attach one: I know a ham who lost his whole
station -- lightning hit and came up through the ground wire and fried
his equipment.

Unless you can hear a difference, I wouldn't bother.
