I like the Traheel for portable with any length wire you can add. At home QTH,
I need to ask if you have access to the eves of the roof? Any amount of #18
tin plated copper wire added up and around the eves will do amazingly well on
LP. I had access to a 24 foot ladder and screwed in the old insulated TV
antenna standoffs and ran it around the house. If you can make it a loop, you
can feed it with a 4:1 balun and work a lot of bands with a tuner. Closed loop
is much more quiet than a end fed.

For home use, <http://www.n6bt.com/> has a 7 foot tall lawn
sculpture which operates on 20, 17 and 15. It doesn't look like
an antenna. It is new, and I don't have any experience with it.
I have a Little Tarheel II antenna on my 4Runner. It works well
on the higher frequencies. I used it with a K3/10 on 80M during
the California QSO party and every single station I managed to
contact said I was way down in the noise.
I have been impressed with the CrankIR
<http://www.steppir.com/crankir-vertical-and-dipole> idea.
However, While I don't have any experience with it, I think it
is worth a look.
