Default new to HF...need antenna recommendations?

Hi,
I'm fairly new to the HF thing. I currently have a dipole antenna
which is hung up in a low tree :-{ Needless to say it's too low
(~8-10') off the ground and I'm contemplated getting a vertical. I
also seem to be having ground problems...my rig is fairly far from any
outdoor "earth" ground material. So I'm trying to resolve these
problems and try my hand at DX. Does anyone have any advice? Am I
likely to have better results with a free-standing vertical? Also,
what is a good grounding option for a fairly remote indoor location?
Thanks.
