Are there any online sources that show vertical whip antenna take-off
angles vs. antenna length (as a function of wavelength)?

Hi Dave,

Go to:
http://www.eznec.com/
and research to your heart's content with the simple designs (or make
your own).

Keeping the transmitter and reciever constant, what would you recommend
for the transmitting and receiving antennas in this case?

Inverted F comes to mind, but is not the total solution. Then there
is the quadrifilar helix antenna.
