Maybe a Bencher Butternut Butterfly beam? Or Spiderbeam? Hexbeam?
Problem is, you need boom length for gain and boom length is what's
going to kill you on a lot that small.
Spiderbeam Turning Radius: 16 ft.
Butternut Butterfly Turning Radius: 6 ft. 11 in.
Traffie Hexbeam HX-5Bi Turning Radius: 9.4 ft.
