Good base antenna for lower 26mhz?

[radioman24]

I am wanting to get a new base antenna I was going to jump on the new sirio vector 4000 but was told it is only for 27 to 28.5mhz, and I do a lot of listening and talking on the lower 26mhz band as well, what base antenna should I get and order it from? I live in Arizona so anyone close to me who would sell it?

Why not build a dipole? If you have space and supports 30 feet high or so, build two of them and put them at right angles to one another. Experiment!

Go for the Vector 4000! You can talk down there with no problems. Get à good SSB radio and talk on the high side too. Happy DXing!
