How about a 1/2WL vertical?


OK. End fed?? How should I feed it? Ladder line like a Zepp??


I would center feed it with horizontal ladder-line
and use it on 20m-10m.

However, a 1/4WL sleeve on the bottom half would
allow you to feed it at the bottom with coax.

Another possibility is a matching network at the base.
Your ground rod might work OK with that.
