I want to think everyone who responded to my question about my failed 
attempt to construct an OCF dipole for 160 meters. I have learned a 
lot, as I usually do from this very helpful and knowledgeable group.

I now realize that I naively assumed that my balun would do something 
that it could not do (suppress the common mode currents on the feedline).

Because I cannot, physically, feed the flattop in the middle, I think 
that I will go in the direction of a balanced inverted V, where I 
have had good success in the past, and use instead a 1:1 current balun.
