It's basically an 80M ladder-line fed dipole but with a 40M 1/4 wave vertical element descending from each end. I use a heavy plumb bob on the end of each one to keep them hanging reasonably straight. It's up at about 65ft. 50ft is a practical minimum because the vertical elements are 34 feet long. You were 59 in NV - armchair copy. |

You were 20 over in SE FL Great signal here! |

First 5-600 watts is the biggest difference. I have been busting pile ups all day on the VA QSO party with an SB-200. It does make a difference! |

I think that was my first voice QSO since moving to the new QTH. Glad it was with ARFHAMS! Surprised at how big of a pileup it was. I heard probably 75% of the other stations. Dinner now... should have checked in "short time". |
Man, epic pileup! I'm glad I was the first check in on 40m as I had to go after 40 minutes! I got in from here in Fort Hood using the 100W from the IC-7200 in my go-box to a 72' end fed wire, and surronded by lightning strikes!  We gotta do this again more often, and take screen names! |
