Hi Butch

Are you talking about the terminated folded dipole antenna?

Mr Cebik has a rundown on them at;

http://www.cebik.com/wire/wbfd.html

and says that the antenna is "typically" 90ft long for 80-10m. There is
however a non trivial loss at 80m you may want to check on.

If you like "no tuner" also consider Cecils w5dxp's doublet at;

That uses sections of 450 ohm feedline that are swicthed in and out of
circuit.
