Thanks to those who responded to my call for advise, Ron W8RJL, Paul N4PD, Steve NY3A and Dan Brown. After all your advise I have several options to think about and a Yagi seems to be the answer, I need to update my antennas and rotor so that would be a good time to install the new antenna as well, thanks again and 73's.
