Default Antenna advice?

Seeing you have a tuner, I would go with an 80 meter dipole fed with the
ladder-line. One antenna for all the bands 80 thru 10. FWIW


Tossing out another option....

I once used a "quarter-wave sloper" off of a grounded 50 foot tower.
Tower was used as a "ground plane". It did a very convincing job for DX
on 40 m and was somewhat directional.

Having multiple antennas is always a bonus. Add one of these to your
antenna switch!
