Any body got any ideas ?
Well, here's an idea...

...if you want to transmit, get a ham license first.

Hello Billy ! I was a ham over 40 years ago but I let my license
lapse because was engaged in other projects, But now I am
over 73 years old and would like to just listen to the ham bands,
I can receive and transmit in CW and was trained in the Army as
a high speed radio operator and later as a communications
specialist. But I do have a Transceiver that I want to keep as
a backup in case of emergency. My call signs were K0RZD in
the U.S. and DL4KZ in Germany.
Does that answer your question ?

Sounds good...the only thing that wasn't clear in your original post was
you specifically asking for an antenna to receive AND *transmit*. Had
you said then that you just wanted to listen, I wouldn't have commented.

SNIP

Don't sell yourself short. You would have come up with something asinine
to say. You always do.
