[TowerTalk] Best "small" low noise antenna for 40/30m?

[Gene Fuller]

Hi John -
I'm using two phased four direction penant systems. 70 feet of wire in each 
penant. Each penant roughly 20'high by 25' long. Spacing betwee arrays about 
140 feet. 40 and 80 good ,160  ok to good, 30 don't know. An ok system but 
will never replace a good beverage. I plan to try three inline 20 foot 
verticals (DE, Para DIR and Para REFL) spaced 100 feet next for 160.
Good Luck,
Gene / W2LU
