Default Home made antenna question??

I thought of that but there are a bunch of other things on there like TV
antennas, dishes, clothes lines, back yard lights, etc etc. Stunt it, just
wanted to throw up a crazy idea, I know it is a very broad question. What is
the smallest thing I could use with a pretty good tuner? On top the utility
tower?

I want to build a home made omni for use on tower.

I want to feed it with coax and have lot of wire, copper pipe, tubing,
basic parts.

I have a pretty good tuner and will use the tuner to tune. Can anyone
make a recommendation as to how to make a not so complicated omni
directional antenna that practical?

I am thinking something about 6 to 10 foot in height only, I can make
gnd planes, but something I can tune to get most bands and simply omni
function. I want to get all bands and I run barefoot and just want to
get on the air with simplest, least complicated, easiest to build omni.
I don't need a electronics lesson in engineering design, just a website
or two explaining the simple build of the magical omni fed with coax
that is the best I can get for my situation.

Thanks

Use the tower!
