It isn't really ugly and you will barely see it if you use non insulated wire.

For those not sure what it is , It's two or more vertical 1/4 wave sections between a 1/2 wave top. Basicaly a cheap phased array.

Fed at the corner of 1/2 and 1/4 wave sections is a low-impedence current feed point, or if fed at the bottom of one of the 1/4 wave sections against a counterpoise it is a high-impedence voltage fed. Nothing you could not whip up with some insulators and some wire and rope.
Best part is it can be mounted very low and have good performance for dx. Doesnt cost but a hour of your time and who knows it may work.
