My preferred choice of Antenna for any band out in the countryside would be
some wire as long as necessary thrown over a high tree and fed via an ATU to
the TX/RX.
I would not use a dipole lying on the ground !!!!!!!!!! or even a couple of
metres above on 600 metres.
Use insulated wire and use the tree as a support.
