Pierre,
First having the Wire Antenna Element set at Six Feet (6')
High is both an Encumbrance and a Hazard to the general
movement of people around and about your Antenna.

Look at your two Trees and get a reasonable idea of
"How High" you can get the Wire Antenna Element
up in the Air. Twelve to Fifteen Feet (12'-15') should
be 'doable' with Twenty to Thirty Feet (20'-30') being
idea for a Random Wire Antenna that is about Fifty Feet
(50') long that is configured as an Inverted "L" Antenna.

Consider re-building and improving your existing Antenna as a
"Low Noise" Inverted "L" Shortwave Listener's (SWL) Antenna.

The LOW NOISE Antenna is basically a "Random Wire"
Antenna Element configured as an Inverted "L" Antenna
- Longer Horizontal-Out-Arm bending down to a
- Shorter Vertical-Down-Leg all the way to ground level
- Using a 9:1 Matching Transformer mounted on a
- Ground Rod installed at the base of the Vertical-Down-Leg
- Using a Coax Cable Feed-in-Line to the Receiver.
This is the basic Shortwave Listener's (SWL) Antenna
that uses the "Low Noise Antenna" 'design concepts' that
were popularized by John Doty.
