I wanted an alternative to my 1/4 ground mounted vertical antenna for the 80m band. After much research and garden measurements I went for a 135ft/41.15m doublet. In part 1 I installed and tested the doublet. In this follow-up video, I make an 80m dipole to compare. See how I get on...

In Part 3 I try a fan dipole design: youtu.be/tSBdZe9-vYg
