Kevin, I have used roll up J poles made by N9tax. They have SO239 connectors
and all you need to do is tack or nail it as high up on the ceiling as you
can.  It has a hole so you can just loop it over the nail.  They are great
for quick deployments or regular use.  I think his webpage is 
http://www.n9tax.com/ 
They work really well.

Subject: Looking for a 2 meter/440 antenna that works in an apartment.

Hi.

 

I have a Kenwood TM-V71A that is currently connected to a Jet Stream mag
mount which is on a tripod.  Its SWR isn't too bad, and overall I get good
results using it.  However, I am interested in seeing if I could find
something a bit better.  Oh yeah, the antenna is in an apartment, so I'm
limited as to what I can do.  I don't have any railing to mount it to.  If
what I have is about as good as I can do, then that's fine.  If, however,
someone has any ideas of something to give me more gain I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks in advance for any info.
