Long ago, I had a four element vertical driven array for 80 which was 
good for 215 countries worked on 80 during the first year of 5B DXCC.  
In January, I'd consistently work Vitaly, UL7GW, now SK, via long path 
with strong signals.  My experience was that the lower in frequency the 
band, the narrower the region of good signals.    My longest distance on 
80 was some UA1 in Archangelsk.
