Yes. K9AY Loops and similar antennas are what you want if you don't have room 
for a Beverage. My 550 ft Beverages, designed for 160M and roughly 8 ft off the 
ground so that deer don't take them down, work very well all the way up to 20M. 
15M hasn't been open enough for me to figure out if they're working up there.
