Is the 35' a tree?  If so, go for an inverted L (or  T) with a couple raised
radials or *many* on-ground radials.

If he can't use the 35' tall 'support' for an inverted L (or T), then my 2nd
choice would be an HF2V (or HF9V)

 

I use both the aforementioned antennas here.  In fact I just turned my
single 40' tall inverted L into 4 x inverted L's and morphed them into a
4-square.

It works quite well.

 

My HF9V (6-80) is probably down about 1 S-unit in real life from the low
inverted L.  It has many raised radials, but only 2 resonant on 80m.
