Hi Larry
What's the population of non-metallic supports like at your QTH? (Read: trees)
The ladder line vertical Ray mentioned might work very well, particularly if
you get it off the ground. You'd need two radials per band and a good choke
(eight turns of RG8x on a mix 31 Biggest Clamp-on would work), but you'd get
added efficiency by being away from the ground.
