I'm in agreement with those that say just put up a wire and listen.
Then pick your favorite band and put up a resonant antenna and compare
the two.
Then your learning something.

Right now I have no idea what my favourite band might be. I'll try the
basic wire, I used to try that many years ago as a kid, in places where it
was easy, on private land with space for it. But that was the seventies, in
the country. Now I'm in an inner city full of mobile phones and computers,
things have changed so much that I know it won't be the same. I like that 18'
whip scheme you linked to though, I really like that one and want to try it.
