Brian, connect a few feet of insulated wire, maybe 20 feet or so. Run it along the baseboard or drape it across the curtain rod and see what you get. The ground is not really necessary. You should be able to get your local stations. At night you may even pick up some pretty distant stations.  If you have access to your attic, You can run a wire from one end of the house to the other and drop the lead in down through a closet.
