Hi Rog,
I must say that I envy you. Assuming that you run multiple bands, you are
indeed fortunate to have the space and supports for resonant antennas, fed
with
coax, on all bands.

I use a gap voyager on 160 / 80/ 40 and a 3 ele steppir on 6 to 20 meters
and have pretty much resonant antennas on all bands with the two, also have a
30/40 80 160 sloper and a few others but the gap and steppir give resonant or
near resonant antenna every where but 160 which is good from 1.850 to 1.920,
and the wire goes from 1.880 to almost 1.980.. enough for me.
I live on a fairly standard sized city lot and it ain't great, but it ain't
bad..
