Yes, that is what I use. I only have a 60 foot span between the house and the tree, so half of my 80 m dipole is bent downward and horizontally to make it fit. It works fine.

What you could do is take a regular 80m dipole, feed it with open line and form it into a shape to fit the back yard. I somehow believe this would give you less trouble than doing the multiturn thing.

I agree Steve. And thanks for the reply, it was full of good info. Especially on the plastic pulleys that I'd never thought about using, I'll pay Lowes a visit today. Thanks Bill K3UJ
