I have a commercial equipment (IC-756 Pro 3 of Icom).
I have recently put up a new antenna.
This antenna is a loop for 80/40 m.
My antenna is 86 m long and it is 10 m high, so it is quite low.
I use an Antenna Tuner with a balanced feedlines(300R twin).
Feeding loop with flat Ribbon feeder with windows was a useful of balanced transmission line can be used at high SWR.
For Uppers bands my antenna is a Cubical Quad two element tri-band of Hy-Gain.
