Go get him about 20ft of cheap, insulated, flexible wire (Ace Hardware) in a color to match his carpet or floor. Hook it to the insulated antenna post after stripping back about an inch if insulation. Do not hook anything to the ground post. Lay the wire on the floor or better yet, hang it vertically if possible. 

Report back. This should be good enough without a ground.
