If you are working at low frequencies, I have seen an idea using a very long
wire (say 4-5 wavelengths) at a low height above ground (say about 6 feet).
The antenna can be directive in it's long axis. It can help to reduce QRM
from a particular direction. Of course you need a fair bit of room...

Hi all,
the wire should be resistor loaded at the far end. It is so-called
"Beverage antenna". If you have several acres of pastures, it is a
perfect solution for DXing.
