There can be no one size fits all ladder line length for a multiband antenna.
Allot of variables come in to play such as other nearby antenna's, trees, power

Nacho,
I would recommend the Icom IC-718 as a
mid priced ($550 US) rig for PSK31, etc. A 500 hz or 250 hz CW filter is
optional $$$ wise but the CW filter can be selected for the digital
modes, unlike on the Yaesu FT-840. This rig can also be bought used on eBay in
the $300-400 range.

If you want to have consistent successful
digital mode contacts of any reasonable distance you have to run a full size
antenna, either a 1/2 wave dipole or 1/4 wave vertical. Night time D layer
