[Antennas] Antenna Suggestions

[Michael Morgan]

I have a question as to which antenna I should use/build.  I have been
using a G5RV for about three years now.  It has been trashed again by a
limb falling on it and bringing it down.  So I was thinking this would
be a good time to maybe try something different.  I have the following
to work with.  I have one tall tree that I have string up about 65' in
the center behind my small lot.  Then I have two trees on either corner
of my lot about 30' tall.  So I can put up a nice inverted V antenna or
a dipole up about 30' or so.  The two shorter trees are about 45' or so
apart.  I mainly talk on 15-20-40 and sometimes on 17-12-10.  I rarely
go on 75/80.  Would I be better off say putting up a V for 40 up in the
try and a dipole for 15-20 across the shorter trees.  Or a multiband Fan
V out of the tall tree.  Or try to put up a single wire and feed it with
ladder line?  I have never used ladderline so I that would be a new
experience for me.

Thanks
