Default Which antenna.

If this is rubbish, please tell me which ranges should be considered


Hi Boris,

Not knowing what bands you want to operate, how much loss you are
willing to accept, how much money vs. how much of your own effort you
are willing to spend; this all makes recommendations kind of tough.

If you are only working 80M, then a simple antenna will do - but I
don't have enough information to say skip the expensive solutions.

However, I would say spend your money on a tuner and put up a dipole
that fits - or a vertical that fits. Don't worry about anything else
until you have something to fix, you could spend a lot of time
worrying without getting anything done.
