Hi Brian It really depends on what you can find for antenna supports. A wire dipole cut to frequency and up in the air higher than you are likely to raise a Buddipole will do more for you. The Buddipole makes a nice fallback antenna, but I'd try for an elevated wire antenna where possible. 73, Bob N6WG
