Brian,
With a window you could deploy a homemade version of the B&W window loaded
antenna.  It was a whip as long as you dare, and a base loading coil, which
you can wind and tap for various bands.  Put a counterpoise wire for say 33
feet on ground side of feedpoint at base of coil.  Tap up on coil with coax
to find 5 0 ohm match.  A jumper shorts out parts of coil for various bands.
If the whip is 6 feet you will find collapsible ones at some radio outlets.
72,
