Tom is 100% right, one of the best rood top signal on top band is from 9M2AX. Ross tested several antennas and the only one that worked well was the inverted L. He has a tall fiberglass mast on top a water mast to keep the vertical part of the L high above the roof top. Ross also used a sloper for some time. Ross can provide more details of his excellent top band antenna. Best combination is a horizontal loaded loop like a flag for RX or a Waller Flag and the vertical inverted L for TX.
