Hey Mike,
Can you provide more information? Horizontal, Vertical, just a piece of wire? 
Where is the feedpoint? If wire, is thar single conductor, ladder line, etc? 
Anything else that might be helpful to let us know what you got.

68 ft is a quarter wave on 80. 

Thanks/73

I have acquired a "80 - 10" antenna. It is about 68 feet long. I will
connect it to rg8x coax 50 feet.
Should this setup use a 9:1or a 49:1 unun or aluminum?

Inquiring minds want to know.
