For years I have used a trapped inverted Vee using Reyco 40M traps and a W2AU balun. Works great on 80M and 40M and will work other bands with a tuner. A good antenna. Also, no matter what they say, The G5RV at 102 feet long is a fine performer on 80, 40 and 20 for sure. Do not sell it short. I use one at 30' with a DX-60B and Drake R4A (mostly on 40 CW) and get consistently great reports.

Buy or make 40 meter traps and use it on multiple bands. The traps will shorten the overall antenna length. 73, Gary
