Explore 1/2 wave antennas, you can load then with an inductance(s) to
achieve the 1/2 wave electrical length, and they will work against a
minimal counterpoise (chain fence, spare travel trailer you have parked
around, metal shed, etc, etc....)
Long, long ago I ran a pirate am broadcast station using an old 50 ft. tv
mast with loading coils and a heavily modified gamma match which used
loading coils in its construction, was able to be heard for over 100 miles
in the most favorable direction running 100+ watts though an old military
transmitter... back then there were many pirate stations around...
