Personally - I would recommend a full size 75M loop. About 254 feet, with a
1/4 section of 75 ohm coax, plus a random length of 50 ohm - and you are
ready to rock. Setting up as a triangle, with each corner set up on the
tower as high as you can, and bring the other corner down will make a
dynamite antenna for close in contacts - I use this antenna for Field Day,
in nearly an identical configuration, and able to hold a frequency and run
stations for hours using only 100 watts. It is also readily made into a
multiband antenna if you use ladder line...easy to match, gain, and simple!

Subject: [TowerTalk] 75 meter antenna
can anyone recomend an antenna for 75 meters that would be optimized for
zero to about 400 miles? I am currently using an inverted vee with the
apex at about 95 feet. I have 2 towers here , one is 100 feet the other
is 125 feet, they are 100 feet apart.
Thanks , Joe N4JBK
