I think you would not get the directivity associated with a beverage.  I
have gotten decent directivity with "mini-beverages" (under 200 ft)
terminated with resistor to grounding rod.  I would try running a wire as
long as you can and terminating it vs. the back and forth wire.  See what
that does for you.
