That's what I would do Mike! I'd just install a low dipole, and an 
adjustable  power tap.

On 20 meters and higher, I used to transmit on a trap vertical above 
my yagis. I received on the yagi's. I would sometimes divide the 
power, so I only had enough power in the trap vertical to keep the 
stateside stuff away.

Using an elevated radial to radiate a high angle signal has too 
many problems associated with it.
