I'm aware of the B&W "radiating dummy load" (TTFD) antennas but I'm not
quite ready to give up that much efficiency and I'm DEFINITELY not ready

I used one for a few years with great success on all bands 80 thru 10.
Don't let the old 'dummy load' stories throw you. You can build one
easily -- there are lots of plans -- just google it as T2FD.
