Tom,
Alpha-Delta makes some nice things, but the DX-B is not one of them. I
tried one a while back and Mine seemed to have poorly made resonator
coils. They came apart just dragging on the ground while I was putting
the spacers and extra wire on it. It had very narrow resonance's and
they were not anywhere near where I wanted them. Sorry, but I sure don't
recommend it. Instead, you might try a 60' half-sloper for 80m and put a
good 40m trap in it. I worked FT5ZH on mine on 80 and 40m ssb. Good
Luck!
73, Tom
