Any antenna is better than NO antenna.

   Before I knew better I tried the "all band 80m doublet, web ladder 
linefed".  Then I modeled and put up an 80/40/20 fan dipole. +++++ on allcounts.
     Ok. So then what's your recommendation? I have LOTS of foliage so I'm only 
going to be able to hang one wire antenna and even that's going to be challenging. I'll 
have to see if I can support the ends or just in the middle.

     Maybe a 4-square light-bulb array would work!
