Has anyone used an antenna like this? https://tinyurl.com/s4ymwlz
Would one of these be usable in a downstairs apartment where I can't run a wire outside...but can string one along the floor board or mount on the wall.
I used something similar. As a receiving antenna it was pretty good. As a transmitting antenna it was terrible, partly down to my environment.
cheaper as an experiment. It's already not a very efficient antenna, and being indoors won't improve it.
I'd sooner try a longwire wrapped along the perimeter of the apartment at ceiling level, or some kind of wire loop design, or a dipole. A magloop might be a good option, and there are designs for cheap homebrew tuning capacitors.
Is your inability to put a wire outside because you aren't allowed to
put up an antenna, or because you can't poke a hole in the wall? If the latter, a window feed-through panel is an option.
