Comment: If you can't erect a tower and a multi-element 20 meter beam on your property, you may want to use this idea from Chavdar Levkov, Jr. (LZ1ABC) and Chavdar Levkov (LZ1AQ).  This 2-element single mast wire beam for 20 meters offers high performance, directivity, and reasonable cost. The Levkov's present an easy-to-understand, thoroughly documented tutorial on the design, construction, and use of this wire antenna.  The Levkov's provide plenty of photos, diagrams, test results, and construction tips to make this project a success.
