Charlie you don't need $60k for a 4-square TX antenna...you're being
heard here OK...but your problem is hearing.  You can solve that with
a simple RX antenna like a Flag that will fit on your present lot.

For 80m you need about 40' of wire, a mix 73 binocular core and a 950
ohm carbon resistor.  You should orient the Flag to the SE for your
post-sunset long path opening to NA (at our sunrise).  You can also
make a rotatable flag which is described on the website above but
that's a lot more complex.

When the KRX3 ships, you can use diversity reception with your TX
antenna in one ear and the Flag in the other, which may also help with
QSB problems.
