I've got a dipole that Steven and I made, cut for 40 Meters that we use here at the house. It will usually tune in the General class portions of the 80, 40 and 20 meter bands. It seems to work fairly well but I'm always interested in other construction ideas for antennas that take up very little space.

I use 160 meter loop

OK, I don't see many post here so I thought I would post my antenna. Since the spring of 2009 I have been using a 160 meter (about 520 ft) horizontal loop at about 35-45 feet. I am feeding with about 60 feet of RG-213 coax. I have had good results on 80 - 17 meters with this antenna. I have not tried 160 much (too noisy). I think the 80 meter loop I had up last year worked better on 10. I hope to put up a second loop or a dipole before fall so I have something to compare with.
