A 4btv trap vertical or the like would be a different matter, requiring some
fiddling. A Yagi and (or) G5RV would require a minimum of fiddling. A
ladder line fed homemade G5RV in inverted vee would be the least expensive I
could think of. A used 3 element Yagis can be cleaned up and re-used
later..

The trap vertical that was mentioned would probably be a real hassle to
tune-up on the tower.

The GAP Titan can be dumped out of the box, assembled (use a tape
measure to get everything as per the manual) and put up without ANY
fooling around. You *MIGHT* have to make a minor adjustment to get the
80 and 40 meter bands right with the lowest SWR centered in the middle
of the band segment that you operate most, but mine came out perfect
using the factory directions.
