Hi Steve,

    For HF receive or transmit, it's hard to beat a loop unless you use a
yagi. The loop is quieter on receive than any other antenna. Some guys use
an 80 meter loop (287 ft.) on 80-10m with a lot of success; with your
proximity to saltwater you will shoot the lights out. You just need an area
75ft, x 75ft. and to get the thing off the ground. We can talk about
feeding it in another note.
