[Glenn Thorne]

Here's a similar approach calld the "H" antenna. http://www.iol.ie/~bravo/low_band_antennae.htm

  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

    merry Christmas
