Because of restrictions i am unable to put up a two meter fm vertical
antenna. What is the feasability of putting up a random or long wire
antenna for the two meter fm band? Doing a Google search i could not
find any information concerning the above. Any assistance would be
appreciated. Thank You.

You can try several thinks. One is a J-Pole antenna, if you have enough room.
It can be made from clear twin lead, like the kind that come with FM stereo
systems.

Another choice would be a dipole. Two 19 inch pieces of wire will do fine.

Using the right thickness of wire and small enough coax would make it almost
impossible to see.

Due to the polarization issue, a horizontal wire is not very usefull

You can also find if you look around a base for a "rubber duckie" type antenna
that has a suction cup. You use it to put mount your antenna on a window
while you are using it.
