Okay here's the deal,

I would absolutely love to put up a Log P, but lamentably my tower is only
42' to the thrust bearing, and if I put up even the smallest Tennadyne

T-6,
the 38' (2x19') rear element would severely overhang not only the

neighbors
yard, but their house as well. (they are 24" from the lot line.)

My other concern is ice. That is to say, when it ices up (as it will
inevitably do several times each winter) the longer elements could droop

to
the point where they could strike his roof, mine, and a nearby tree.

(heck,
the balance between peace among neighbors and a decent antenna system sure
is frustrating...)

Why not try a dipole with open wire feeder and ATU in the shack. It will
work on any frequency althou the efficiency will drop on the lower bands.
The length can be random - depending on availabel space.
