I have a .187 acre lot myself. I opted to use a B&W 1.8-30 Folded dipole stretched across my roof. It's probably the worst possible configuration for this particular antenna, however, you'd be amazed at how well it works on 20 and 10. (15 is pretty good too.) I burn a lot of sky on 40,80 and 160, but it DOES function there.
I'm getting ready to erect a tower on the property. It looks like it's going to be 30 feet of tower and 5 foot of mast. Possibly burying the bottom section 5 feet and using 10 feet of mast. It's a huge compromise, but it works.
Anyway, I ultimately stand behind the B&W Antenna. It's been a great performer. I worked 49 countries and 25 states over the weekend.
