I personally like a simple 80M loop.  Nice high angle of radiation, simple
and inexpensive

Subject: [TowerTalk] Omnidirectional antenna for domestic contests

Looking at the number of states worked during CQ WW RTTY it is pretty
obvious I need antennas for working the US and Canada on 20-15-10 from my
VE3 QTH.  I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.

Currently considering 1) vertical dipoles and 2) a curtain of 3 stacked
dipoles (or inverted Vs) from 10' to 30'.

Anything else? Do keep in mind that from VE3 the US is from ~160 to ~330
degrees azimuth and I do not want to rotate the antenna.
