[ARDF] 80 meter antenna question

I have an old Russian receiver that I bought off Bob Frey that works
OK but I'm looking to change things and get serious about ARDF.  I
recently bought a new Kenwood TH-F6A which has hf receive
capabilities.  So I'm wondering about making a DF antenna for 80
meters and use the F6A.  If I remember correctly someone at Bastrop in
2008 was using a similar set up.  I looked at Joe, K0OV's, web-site
and it seems that this is an appropriate method.

So after a overload of information googling antenna designs for a 80
meter DF antennas does anyone have any good suggestions they would
recommend? I'm considering building a few different ones over the
winter and see what I like best.   Also I remember seeing a web-site
that had a plug and play micro 80 meter transmitter.   I would like to
find something simple that I can use around the neighborhood, I.E. get
my daughter to go hide it somewhere and see if I can find it using
different antennas.
