Try the "VNE Special", designed by W9VNE.  It is 5/8 wave long,
supported at the top of your favorite tree. (or tower).  Feed it at the
bottom of one of the V legs.  (doesn't matter which one!).  Connnect a
tuner at the feedpoint (of course, you should protect it from the
elements) with the wire connected to the "single wire" connection
point.  No radials.  Just plug in the coax to the tuner, and you're all
set.

Won't set the world on fire, but it should crush an inverted vee.  I'll
be using mine this weekend.
