Hi and welcome to CT. Look up T2LT aerial you can buy but easy to make yourself. Along with a telescopic pole and a couple of bungees to fix the pole to a fence post and bob's your granny.

I second the T2LT. They can be setup in just a few minutes when you get the hang of it. Don't need to be too high either, I put mine on a cheap 8m telescopic pole so base about 2.5m off ground. Usable bandwidth of just over 1MHz, I have mine set for freeband CB up to 28.5MHz. Setup in back garden for a short time on Sunday and got a 59+ into Russia on 10m with it. Out in the open static mobile it will do amazing for you.
