That would depend on the desired contact. If you want 80 meters DX, you want a very high antenna, if you just want to talk to your local buddies, a lower antenna provides a better NVIS. Verticals provide better omni-directional pattern but a slanted dipole provides better directivity than a vertical. Beams are obvious.  |
