I use a Hertzian (doublet) antenna cut to about 55 feet (the distance 
between my two tallest trees minus about ten feet), open feedline and a 
balanced tuner.  Small diameter wire and discreet spreaders cut from 1/4 
inch fiberglas rod (bicycle flag stock) painted gray make it stealthy. 
 It works great right on down to 160 Meters.
