If you are east of the Rockies, you need something
that favors EUROPE.
I would suggest a vertically polarized Delta Loop
which has an oval pattern (maybe 3 dB F/S)
and should work well everywhere. Aim it broadside
to Europe for best overall coverage. Feed it 1/4 WL
down from the Apex with a 1/4 WL matching section
of 75 ohm coax such as RG59 followed by 50 ohm
line of any length.
