[Elecraft] Advice on First HF Antenna

[John Kramer]

I can suggest an antenna by www.myantennas.com  Look for their antenna
called an  EFHW 80-10. It will take 1 KW, and has a low SWR on all bands
80/40/30/20/17/15/12/10 bands. It is a half wave design, that I have had 
tremendous success with as a second antenna to my SteppIR beams. 
It is easy and quick to get up, and will serve you well until such time that you
decide whether to put up a tower and beam. It will also serve well as a portable
antenna. I have done comparisons to numerous OCFD, Gap Titan vertical,
G5RV, ZS6BKW, loops and other wire antennas, and in most cases it 
outperformed all of them.

I am pretty new ham and a brand new KX3/PX3 owner excited to try my hand at DX'ing!  If you were buying your first HF base antenna, primarily looking for performance on 20 and 40 meters, what would you recommend?  Also, what do you suggest as a high performance field antenna for QRP?

Thank you,
