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'. Thanks & 73
