Take a wire through your radio shack window up to the top of a pole on your
house chimney. Extend the wire from the top of the pole to a tree or other
high support.

Make the wire as high and as long as you can. It is known as an Inverted-L.
To increase overall length the end of the wire can be further extended
sideways or downwards towards the ground.

This will be most efficient, all-band, all-direction, all elevation antenna
which is possible in your back yard.
