Default hints for quasi-professional cage antenna anyone?

Thus the reason they make chocolate and vanilla, we all get a choice.

I choose the cage, don't confuse me with the facts.

Dear W4JLE

I think you should be aware that, as perceived at the receiver end, the
characteristics of the feedline, its length and SWR, and tuner can have at
least as great an effect on operating bandwidth as the antenna constuction
itself. Antenna height above ground can seriously affect bandwidth.
Lowering height can increase bandwidth more than changing from from a thin
wire to big fat cage.
