Ken,

Think helical. Several years ago I made a 40 meter J-pole using twin lead.
Wound it around 10 ft. of 1" PVC pipe. Worked well for field day, signal
strengths comparable to those from a full sized dipole... but with the
advantage of being omni-directional.

Hmmmmm, 6 dBi omni-directional gain - quite impressive - usually
requires a phased array.
