[EIDXA] 80 and 160 mtr antennas

[Glenn Thorne]

I've used Inverted-vees over the years with marginal success for DX on 80.  Next I'm going to try a Double-L.  It looks very promising when compared using eznec.  Much better for low angles than a low dipole/inverted-vee and maybe even a bit better than a vertical.

  I am wondering what everyone is using on 80 and 160 to transmit and receive.

  I am currenting using a 80 mtr dipole at 60 feet.  it works great for state side and Caribean but dead everywhere else.

  I have been looking at the verticals from Zero Five and DX Engineering.

  Let me know what works best for you
