I'm sure Gary they are the best antenna for the dollar, but not enough trees here for support. I was raised on a farm & my late father, W4PFP & elmer, had some serious wire antennas. I miss the real estate, but not the farming.

Reed,
   I had a 80M Delta loop up for quite a few years. It worked
extremely well. Very quiet. It was fed in the corner with 75 ohm coax,
then 50 ohm to the shack. My matching piece of 75 ohm coax was abt
46.5 feet long (1/4 wave x velocity factor of the cable). I'd put
another up but all my trees have grown up.
