I am looking for some practical design and construction information 
to build a compact 2 element horizontally polarised antenna for 20 
metres.  Looking at various books I have, I don't see adequate 
information for my purposes.  For example, ON4UN's wonderful Low Band 
DXing book just gives an outline using folded dipole contruction 
using 300 ohm material which is hardly a durable method.

I have a bundle of aluminium from a 9 element log periodic antenna 
that was destroyed by wind (its predecessor, 8 elements went the same 
way) also insulated element to boom mounts.  I have the ARRL antenna 
handbook software, YO, NEC for Windows and WA6RAI's Quick Yagi.

If anyone can provide some guidance, I would very much appreciate it.
