I think you should carefully look at full wave loop antennas - that are
"squished".  These are very effective antennas that fall into the easy 
to erect and low cost category.

I built one for 80 meters that was about 45 feet high on the sides - fed
in the middle of one side and it was a very effective antenna.  They are
great antennas for the higher bands as well - and their bidirectional 
pattern is perfect for those in the middle of the country.
