Thanks to all that responded. The general consensus is that using the buddistick, pac-12 or some other version of coil and shorter vertical is not as effective as simply getting up as high as possible with a vertical wire antenna and radial/counterpoise. Other than the tree, most have suggested a telescopic pole made of fiberglass and there are several on the market. They will need to be supported with guy lines. I have used a 28 foot vertical. The 32 would be ideal I would guess as the next smallest is 22 ft.
