My antenna of choice for 80/40 since 1984.
A full size, 80m, rectangular, vertical plane, loop.
Open wire feed.
Top wire at 45'
1/8 wave verticals.
Feed 1/8 wave from a bottom corner (compromise for
my desired radiation angles and azimuth based on 
location of trees :-)
AA4RM and I are going to write it up with a little math
and a lot of handwaving...
