Hi Pete,

I only used the high dipole (120' between two towers) on 80 this past
weekend with good success.
Will use the quad loops on 80 for SS SSB (they are still set from the CQWW
SSB contest). Quad loops are diamond shaped fed at the bottom. Tops are at
135', bottoms are about 35' when the sides are pulled out. For me it is a
VERY effective antenna on 80.
On 40 this year I tried to feed 4 different antennas. The 3/3 stack... 70'
fixed to the NE, 120' at 320 degrees,
2EL @ 140' pointed to 240 degrees
2EL @ 110' fixed SE..
40 Was the best band with 595 QSO's...

Take care..sa hi..cu/mya
