I kinda like my 160M coax fed half wave dipole. I can get something out of it on all bands with the K3 tuner, although 80M is very marginal. I have a couple of FT8 QSOs with Quebec on 6M using it, although the azimuth pattern looks like a porcupine.

However, for most purposes, my 8 band trapped vertical is better on the high bands.

As many have said before - the 132' wire-fed doublet is the best overall, must versatile antenna you can erect.
