Hi Towertalkians,
I would agree your suggestions for solving my search of a good limited space
80 m. antenna, and if possible also a 160m ant.
I live downtown in an home with a very little garden. So I am obliged to
roof mount all antennas.
I work 90% cw, dx and contests.
I have a tower on the roof (the roof is 35 feet from ground), the tower is
30 feet high with another 7 feet from the mast (hazel mounted).
I have a Force 12 C4 antenna on it.
The roof is about 70 feet x 46 feet
>From the high it is this:
little garden - better no antenna (hi)

I have thinked about an half sloper from the tower, a 1/4 lambda wire upside
the tower and then down to the roof, the tuning of the tower, a linear
loaded dipole for 80m not longer than 100 feet vee inverted - but I havent
found a suitable design.
What can you suggest me?
Many thanks.
