-Rolf, the best antenna for receiving on 80 meters is
the Beverage if you have the room. Since you need to
stretch a wire for 500 to 1200 feet in the direction
that you want to receive, and live in Stockholm City,
chances are good that you don't. Instructions are in
the ARRL Antenna Book.
Failing that, you might consider a EWE if you have
room for an array that is about 30 meters square.
Instructions are at www.ok1rr.com
If you don't have room for an EWE, you can look at a
K9AY array which was published in QST and is available
on the internet. It requires a space about 15 feet
in diameter.
If you have lots of money to spend, look at the DX
Engineering four square receiving array.
