584, with a little info you could build yourself a simple dipole. You could put it up about 20' on the flat side and play with it for a while an try to learn what you can. You could make it out of tubing and be able to turn it some or you could use wire which would be easier and cheaper. You will be surprised at what a horizontal dipole will do for your skip work.

584,
Try this web page:

Scott has put up some excellent 11 meter antenna information and is a great primer on basic antenna theory. This might help you get started on building your own simple horizontal antenna.
Also try this site called The Antenna Elmer:
