Hi Richard,
Tell us what you would like to do on 80m. Local nets or ragchews within 2-3 
state radius? Stateside, WAS? DX to any particular continent? Do you want 
this new antenna to work on other bands to supplement your existing antenna 
farm?This will help in narrowing the the choices.

<<snip...My next project is to get an antenna for 80M.  I have been 
investigating several options and want any feedback regarding them...snip...
I have been looking at the following for 80M: a) inverted-V, b) inverted-L, 
c)
Delta loop  for 80M...snip...do you  have any suggestions as to which of the 
three antennas (or any other you feel might be better) I might have the best 
luck with on this tower for 80M? Also, for any of these you might recommend 
what suggestions for coupling the coax to the antenna.  Do I need a balun or 
direct connection? Thanks much for your generous help, Richard - KJ7CU >>
