I did not try the W5QJR antenna. I read the article about this antenna and I got the impression, that the author praises a broken vertical, as the optimal antenna for the bands 40, 80, a 160 m. It's such an alibi description of an antenna. The author did not compare this antenna at all with the second antenna, for example dipole. I have good experience with a dipole. I use it in the form of Inverted Vee, the oblique dipole is also good, or more dipoles per power supply, for multi-band operation. I recommend building a vertical antenna at least a quarter-wave with raised quarter-wave radials.
