Default Antenna recommendation needed

If he has trees to tie dipole legs to, he really only needs one

But I don't know what trees he has available.
=======================
When wire antennas are connected to trees ,with trees moving in (strong)
wind , I would recommend a pulley connected to the tree(s) and the
antenna end(s) connected to rope running over the pulley and weighted by
a brick/stone.

This keeps antenna under constant tension even when tree or its branches
are moving ,causing the brick/stone bobbing up & down.
