I'll have a chat with other, more experienced members of the Radio Club when I next see them - hopefully this Thursday evening. I'll let you know what they suggest.

A very popular aerial is called the Slim Jim (google it). It is basically a half wave over a quarter wave and can be made at home or purchased.

It is very unobtrusive and is something like a large paperclip.

Here you are Frank. I asked a very experienced person and he came up with this. It looks good and is specific to the task but it will all depend on how much you are prepared to pay. The supplier is a reputale UK firm. Good luck and do let us know what happens in the end.
