I have no experience with them, but I am considering
them. For 80m, it may be feasible to build a set of
four double L antennas (with the "tails" towards the
middle).
Everything I have read suggests that small construction
errors will lead to much reduced F/B ratio, but will
have limited effect on gain.
I do not know whether that holds true in the woods,
or whether the effect of trees near the vertical
elements also has significant effects on gain...
