That depends.
Is it an African swallow or a European one?

My mess .....

I hesitated to post a shack pic because I really don't have a shack. This is what it would have been if the landlord hadn't reneged on the antennas deal, there they sit all revved up with no place to go. What is working is the Uniden BC796D scanner on the left hooked up to a mobile antenna in the upper left. Incidentally this is my computer desktop image looking into the infinity of video feedback.
Can you run two small wires (magnet wire) in opposite directions in the junction of the wall and ceiling, around the room(s) and load it up with a tuner? It's certainly isn't ideal, and you may have to run a little lower power, but it will get you on the air. I've used that setup in the past. It'd probably get you on 20M PSK no problem, and probably SSB on some of the upper bands, as well. I never had much luck on 40 or 80 due to RFI issues, but the TV today isn't what it used to be, either.
