I concur with Gert recommending a SteppIR 3 element beam. I chose it because of it's mono band operation on every frequency from 13.9Mhz to 53Mhz and everything in between and it isn't a monster. Besides, it doesn't weigh a ton and can be easily torn down to move it. During icy winter days here in the Buffalo, NY area all I do is retract the elements that fide inside 16 foot fiberglass poles of sorts. I've had it up for almost two years now.
Oh, by the way the SteppIR people are terrific to work with!!!
I'm currently waiting for the 30M and 40M add on kit for my 3 element SteppIR beam.
Just my two cents.
George
