If you can get 60 feet of horizontal space in the palms, consider
running a random length dipole, fed with ladder line, and use a tuner.
You can either just run 60 feet, or might want to let some extra wire
hang down at the ends to make it longer. I'd probably do the latter.


If you are afraid of ladder line, there are trapped dipoles that will
serve the purpose.


It will be pretty hard to define a "best" multi band dipole. But I
really do like the ladder line/tuner combination. And with auto tuners
like the MFJ, which will tune ladder line pretty nicely, they are the
way to go in my book

p.s. I use a manual tuner for mine, and even those aren't too bad. I
even contest with it.
