Hello all, I am trying to get an idea of what the best antenna for 40-80-160 is when limited to approx 40'. Would a horizontal loop at this height outperform a halfwave dipole for stateside contacts? What about DX? What I have now is a halfwave dipole with the apex at about 38' and the ends up as high as 25'.
