How many folks on rrap have an 80 meter setup? As in "at least a G5RV
that works on 80, 35 feet up at least") There's W4NTI, N2EY, K8MN,
K0HB, and probably W3RV.

Out of how many?

For 80m, I'm set up so I can choose between a G5RV, 80m skyloop, ground
mounted vertical, or random wire.

I confess I am using a random end fed wire (270 feet long, I have a 2 acre
lot, heavily wooded) admittedly far too low off the ground. However, it
does get out on 80 well enough to work some DX, or at least Europe anyway,
and I've worked VK6 on it on 40 (split). OTOH, on 160 it doesn't work worth
a d*mn, no doubt due to the low height. It also doesn't tune well on 15,
but is OK on the other high bands.

One day I'll get my tower up, but that'll mostly help me on the high bands.
I have a tribander and beams for 6m and 70cm to go up there. I also do some
mobile and portable HF, although I haven't yet got the current car set up.

Alun, N3KIP
