Hi Gary,

we are using a GAP Voyager DX IV (have a look at there WEB-Page)
with great success. It has only 3 radials and is good on 40+80,
Not too good on 160. I worked Heard Isl. a couple of years ago during
a huge European pileuo without a problem Same with HC8.
In my opinion a fine antenna. The only disadvantage is a vy noisy RX,
but this is also a QTH question. We are in an idustrial area....

Gud luck on 80m.

My country total on 80 CW is very small, so I plan to do something about it.
I'd like some recommendations on a modestly priced 80 meter DX antenna. I can
build it or buy it.

I plan to put up the antenna atop a five acre piece of land, at about 1200 feet
above sea level. There will be no power lines nearby.

Is a vertical a good solution, or would a dipole be better? What about
practical heights for the wire antennas, and should the vertical be elevated or
placed on the ground?

Thanks in advance,

Helmut, thanks for the input!
