The W5GI Mystery Antenna is a multi-band wire antenna that covers 80 to 6 meters with low feed point impedance. It is easy and inexpensive to build, similar to a G5RV but performs better on 20 meters. The antenna is difficult to model but has received positive feedback from users worldwide. It is ideal for hams without towers, requiring only two vertical supports about 130 feet apart. The antenna consists of three half waves in-phase on 20 meters with a half-wave 20 meter line transformer, offering a six-lobe pattern, gain broadside to the antenna, and low feed point impedance for easy matching.

Which makes it ideal for portable use or you can mount it above a pre-existing vhf antenna, and due to it's small size it is quite rotatable.

The grounded half loop describe in this article is basically a half wave length wire on 80 Meters. The 80M grounded half loop antenna, inspired by a 1984 QST article by SM0AQW, is a compact solution for limited spaces. Comprising a 127-foot wire fed against ground and supported by radials, it balances performance and practicality. Despite compromises in length and proximity to structures, the antenna delivers strong signal reports and effective multi-band tuning using an SGC 237 antenna coupler. Ideal for CW operation, it offers low SWR on 80-10M, though noise levels and safety considerations warrant attention. This versatile design excels in constrained environments.

The Bruce array is a simple, often-forgotten wire antenna array that is advantageous for 80 and 160 meters, where typical gain antennas are very large. This bi-directional broadside vertical array is only 1\4 lambda high and does not require a ground system. It offers substantially greater SWR bandwidth than the half-square or bobtail curtain. A 4-element Bruce array used by N6LF showed a gain of about 4.6 dB compared to a 1\4 lambda vertical with 8 elevated radials, with a 2:1 SWR bandwidth greater than 400 kHz. The antenna is simple and its dimensions are flexible.
