It looks like I may be answering my own question. I need a
counterpoise! I will work this one out, but any tips on creating a
counterpoise would be most appreciated.

Which one (I'm thinking about the magnet mount, but what would I
connect it to), and how would I make this work?

the one I would want.

Thanks.

Can you put it in the attic? If so, you could possibly construct a
groundplane to mount the antenna on. A large peice of metal would probably
act like a car body to mount the antenna to. Another possiblility would be
to put the antenna up in the corner as you want with several groundplane
radials (9ft long) running along the floor.
