Discrete to me would be a Dipole antenna. They are also very easy to make and inexpensive.

Good thing for 11 meter is it does not have to be very high to work well and it will not be too long.

what amateur license do you have? 2m rigs can be had for less than $150. a good antenna will run you anywhere from free to $100 or more. if your handy you can build whatever you need. CB antennas are cheap and you can even get the 102" antennas from radio shack. coax will be your biggest thing. once you figure out how high your going to mount your antenna you will need to figure out your loss and what cable will work best for you.
