An active or magnetic loop antenna would be the best for indoor, check out the "AOR LA400", be prepared for price shock. You could build one for a 10th that price, only need some copper tubing and a air capacitor.

Re: NEED A CLUE!!!!!
I said you would have "sticker shock"!! A ham op had one on sale at the last fest, was big but small enough for an 8ft ceiling, would be better on a porch or balcony. He made it out of 1/2" copper pipe and 45deg couplings, octagon shape, a nice PVC stand/holder. Use ladder line to bring the signal into the station and a nice manual tuner so it could also transmit on it. I'm sure if you surf the internet you'll find one to fit your budget.
