Depending on the size of your lot you could also try a very short beverage antenna. I use a 160 foot unterminated wire through a 6:1 binocular core transformer and feed it with 75 ohm coax. It is up about 4 feet off the ground. It works surprisingly well on 20 through 10 meters. It's performance is marginal on 30 and 40 but sometimes it helps with band noise. It may as well be a dead short on 80. It is not ideal in any case, but it was cheap and has helped with my horrible power line RFI problem.
