Hi Gary,
Thanks for the help. I got the new wire in place roughly as you described.
It is a few feet lower to give good clearance from the anchoring branch.
It doesn't work very well. Last night it was much poorer on receive and
transmit than my existing 43' vertical setup. I'm not sure what to think.
Maybe the light of day will reveal a clue, but it was fairly quick and easy
to construct and kinda tough to mess up but who knows...
I'll put an analyzer on the feedpoint this morning and see if it looks out
of whack. I was expecting it to be a least a little better but it clearly
wasn't.
73,
Todd - NR7RR
