Many thanks for all the answers.
After all, I will try the horizontal Jpole.
It was my first idea but, I read lots of bad thinks about this antenna
(in particular in this newsgroup), but it's so easy to build that I
could try.

It's not a J-POLE. It's a J antenna. The J-POLE was a commercial antenna
possibly by Cushcraft some time ago. It was a pole with several Js stacked
vertically on it for gain. The J antenna goes back as far as my handbooks
do at least the 40's.
I'd call this an end fed half wave. What's the matching device? A
quarter wave shorted stub.

How come I don't see any of you guys at the meetings?
Also, how come the phrase "how come" means "why", sort of?
