Looks like you need to put up a LM KAT-34......
You should look into it...

Subject: [TowerTalk] 2 el monobanders

>wide-band 2 el monobanders for 10-15-20 would work better than
>trying to run an antenna with a SWR of 4 to 1 on one end of the
>band or the other. I had a 15 meter 2 el wide spaced monobander
>up before the TH-3, and it was good from 21.000 up to about
>21.300 before the power would start dropping off. I'm really
>starting to think I made a mistake taking it down, but I thought
>the convenience of a tri-bander would offset the difference in
>efficiency of the mono/tri-bander. The problem is I've got one
>SMALL tower, and no room for another one and I wanted something
>for 10 meters, too. Oh well, I guess we really can't have our
>cake and eat it too. A bigger tri-bander is not an option at
>this time. 73
