Don't know if you have space limitations but an inverted v ant is a compact ant. I used one for a transmitting and receiving ant and it worked well. Was abt 38' tall and 50' wide. It's pattern is like a vertical so it doesn't have the directivity of a dipole. Simple to construct with some wire and hand tools. I got up to 38' by using some light steel tv ant mast strapped to my chimney. 1/4 or 3/8'' rope was used to hold the apex up to the mast and to tie off the ends to steaks driven into the ground.
I'd show you some pic of it but a tree fell on it and it is no longer. Just the mast remains.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
