[TenTec] 80m antenna suggestion

[Billy Cox]

>A low dipole is essentially an omnidirectional

Agree ... Good summary ...

>Just remember, typically a larger antenna will out-perform a
>smaller antenna.  Thus a full wave loop, having more wire in 
>the air, should out-perform a 1/2 wave dipole.

Disagree ... Example? Try and use a 20m yagi ... on 10m ... while
the 20m yagi is 2x larger ... it's performance will be much less.

Summary ... To quote N4KG ... "bigger and higher is not always better!"
