[TowerTalk] 80M antenna challenge

There are no horizontal wires in the air if he installs a Yagi like this one:

Howdy, TowerTalkians --

     I've got a conundrum. I need to put up an 80M antenna where the  
wife doesn't like wires in the air (there goes a wire dipole) and is  
averse to a vertical with radials. There are several tall trees that  
would be nifty but again no horizontal dipole.
      I figured maybe a vertical dipole (with traps) might do it but  
I've got no idea how it'll work. I guess if it radiates I should  
consider it a win - hi.
      Comments encouraged. Tnx!
