(length = 1005/MHz) and laid the antenna horizontal about 1 foot off the ground.
Used a lot of loops, and yes a dipole about a 1 foot off the ground will work also.
Reverse scissors antenna works great. A dipole with the radiating side is closed over the ground side, like a pair of scissors, with the opening of the scissors pointed away from the base station.
I do hope the base station has a NIVS type antenna as well.
