Im in the market for a vertical that will work 80-10 including WARC. Im
limited in space and would like one that doesnt need radials. I work both
cw and ssb, but prefer cw. I can go about as high as 30 feet with it. Can
anyone recomend something that theyve had good experience with or is there
an FAQ somewhere that would have some comparisons I could look at? Any help
is appreciated.

Hi Brian,

Trim your sails for a vertical that goes from 20-10 and you might find
the performance you expect. You could sneak in 40, but 80 will arrive
only to spite your dreams.

If you can design one that works well, you can
become a very rich man.

Brian, as others have suggested, you can't have all. You want
vertical, broadband, no radials, and 30'. Suggest you pick 1 or 2
favorite bands and go from there.

That sounds like a GAP Titan DX to me. You'll have to pick either phone
or CW on 75/80. It won't do both.

Like they said you cant have both, but if you can do 25 feet around
the antenna, then try a HF9V. At 29ft it is under your 30ft height.

Lay out about 16-32 radials of 25 feet under it in a circle and you
have a nice multi band performer. You still have to pick 75 or 80 on
it but with
a good tuner you can do most of 75/80 curve. I love mine and its in
a limited area behind my house.
