If you want multiband with pretty decent match, you could always secure a
30' fiberglass pole and mount two butternet verticals. One up, one down.
No radials and with a stiff pole and a nice 4x4 post in concrete, no guy
wires. Be aware that a 50' dipole isn't gonna give you a lot of bandwidth
on 160, It's OK for CW or phone on 80, and should cover full bands on
40-10. I like the butternuts because they use as much element length as
possible on all bands. Could do the same with a pair of Hustler 6BTV for
80/40/30/20/10 but would advise against 80 and you'll get better 40m
efficiency if you leave out the 30m traps. Hustler is pretty inexpensive
for the 4BTV (40/20/15/10) model.
