    80m Dipole problems

    well, for starters, I would consider 300 ohm feedline and about 130 (+/-) feet of wire. Or even better roll your own 600 ohm

    Who's the best?

    I don't understand that,............. most people that talk "close" don't even use an "active" antenna, they have a dummyload on a switch and don't hear anything more than 1/4 mile away.
