Why not take a look at the Carolina Windom from Radio Works. It might meet
your requirements.

=====================================

Of course it will. Why do nitpicking busy-bodies stir up worries about
radiation from feed-lines? It's never wasted.

Feedline radiation may disappear in unknown directions, but, even when a
dipole is centre-fed, the radiation pattern in the midst of the usual
environmental cluttering uncertainty, and the manner in which the feedline
is led away from then antenna, the whole thing is always a matter of
guesswork.

As the antenna is non-rotatable it doesn't matter very much what the very
uncertain distorted radiation pattern is anyway.

Just erect the antenna in the best possible way you can manage in the
limited space available and see what happens. Most likely you will not be
disappointed in its performance.

Good DX !
