Hi Ray,

The AS-2259 is the quintessential NVIS antenna:



It's crossed dipoles on top of a low-loss hard-line mast.  The two 
dipoles are of dissimilar lengths so it can be tunned up anywhere 
between 2-30 MHz.  Unfortunately the long elements are too short to work 
well on 80-meter.  Dean, KK1K, tweaked this one to be near resonant on 
80 and 60 meters.  BTW, the frequency description on this graphic is 
incorrect and misleading.

RTFM here:  http://hilltoparmyradios.com/as-2259-man.pdf

I could go on and on.  Might have one for sale, etc. etc.
