I can suggest an antenna by www.myantennas.com Look for their antenna called an EFHW 80-10. It will take 1 KW, and has a low SWR on all bands 80/40/30/20/17/15/12/10 bands. It is a half wave design, that I have had tremendous success with as a second antenna to my SteppIR beams. It is easy and quick to get up, and will serve you well until such time that you decide whether to put up a tower and beam. It will also serve well as a portable antenna. I have done comparisons to numerous OCFD, Gap Titan vertical, G5RV, ZS6BKW, loops and other wire antennas, and in most cases it outperformed all of them.

If you were buying your first HF base antenna, primarily looking for performance on 20 and 40 meters, what would you recommend? Also, what do you suggest as a high performance field antenna for QRP?
