If you are looking for a simple rotatable dipole antenna to put up, why not try the hamstick dipole antenna. Here is a link to a video below that gives an excellent example. I can not post the actual video, because it is not in the public domain, but you can click the link and watch it yourself.
This type of antenna can be easily put up and taken down fairly quickly. Using a mfj tripod, fiberglass mast and the hamstick dipole, you can go for the DX. Here is a link to Ebay for them https://tinyurl.com/y3nv428z

I suggest the fiberglass mast, so you can get the antenna up higher. The one thing you will find is that there are hamsticks made for the various ham radio bands. So pick out your favorite band and have fun. I know that these are no the best ham antennas in town, but some antenna is better than no antenna.
Thank You Dan KC2YTI 73s and Good DX
