80M antenna question
 
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,
Gary K5QT
