Old timer here, (VK5JE) wanting to get back into HF. Would really
appreciate pointers to web based info on build it yourself 80m vertical or
dipole. Have somewhat limited real estate!

Occasionally I'll listen to the online receiver made available by
K2JEU (http://www.ralabs.com/webradio/). Over the years he has used
various diffent antennas, ranging from longwires, to beams to most
recently a roughly 75 ft sloper. However, at one point he was using
40+ vertical from zerofive and it was vastly superior to every other
antenna I've see him use (excepting the beam, which doesn't belong in
the same comparison class). I almost couldn't believe it. I'd have
expected a large vertical to be pretty noisy, but the zerofive antenna
was incredibly quiet. I don't have space for such an antenna myself,
but I was awfully impressed with this one. It was really something.
