Beverages
I am using 3 two wire Beverage antennas from a design in the ON4UN Low Band DXing book. The transformers on the shack end and the reflection transformers are from DX Engineering. These antennas give two directions at a time which provides 6 directions of coverage. The 6 directions are routed to the 40, 80, and 160 meter operating positions through a relay system that lets any of the 3 bands select any of the 6 directions. The cables are decoupled from each other by using W3LPL bandpass filters right at the switch box because the filters have a very high input impedance outside their pass bands.
Relay box with bandpass filters on top:

RX 4-Square
This is a simple 4-square using the DX Engineering RX 4-Square phasing box. The elements are made from the remains of one of the 40m4lldd's that broke. Radials are 1/8" aluminum wire laying on the ground. The verticals are insulated from the ground by fiberglass tube.
