The 'S' model is 66' overall, a little shorter than your current antenna.

These antennas are well suited to an application where the operator or
not a radio tech, or unfamiliar with the station, frequency agility is
needed, particularly rapid change in frequency with confidence that the
system is setup and ready to go, and where comms technology is second to
the job to be done.

No doubt there are similar things made in the USA, and I think Bushcomm
stuff is sold there (see Array Solutions).

BTW, someone suggested a vertical. Vertical's have very low gain at high
angles, so relatively unsuited to NVIS.
