I strongly recommend the Inverted Delta antenna. Unfortunately, it requires
suspension of the flat-top portion between two supports from the sides at an
elevation of as high as you can get it. (45- 50 ft should be just barely
high enough - higher would be better).
Feed the bottom apex with a balanced feed line. The only published article
on this antenna that I know of is by Bill Orr, W6SAI.
I use the 20 meter version of the antenna, and have found nothing to beat
it.
