I just realized that my previous message was sent in html format. Which 
means that the reflector stripped the text! That explains some of the 
answers...

Here is what I meant to ask:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am moving to an apartment on the top floor of a 10 story building. I 
have access to the roof which has a 30' x 10' flat space. On one edge of 
this space is a building 9' high with a flat roof of about 10' x 20'. I 
can put up antennas on top of this little building and on the flat area 
mentioned above.

But there is a catch: the antenna has to be either a wire antenna, or 
substantially vertical. If vertical, it can't exceed 29' in height above 
the roof of the small building. Beams not allowed!

I want to operate on 40 through 15 meters. The antenna needs to be able 
to handle 1500w.

I prefer horizontal antennas because of the extra gain and lower noise 
pickup. I prefer a balanced antenna because of noise and RFI 
considerations. But I'll consider other options if there are overriding 
advantages.

Suggestions?
