Hello Oscar,

I suggest you build an antenna using the very well-proven YU7EF antenna designs:

http://www.yu7ef.com

I would suggest starting with the biggest single yagi you can put up:

When you decide you want to add elevation, I suggest an H frame with four of those 
yagis, or possibly 4 smaller yagis.  GL and VY 73, Lance
