I have one on 80, too, and am quite pleased .... however, for 80 meters it
really takes a 100-foot tower, and unless you are able to build the array
into your guy wires, it will likely require at least a 200-foot diameter
circle for the ropes supporting the elements. but it is cheap, simple, and
it does work!
