Ok, I got my new antenna constructed:
Its a 119 foot dipole with a 64 (?) foot 40 meter element spaced 6
inches down. I built a PVC center insulator with the connections to the
dipole enclosed, and put a 8 turn choke just below the feed. I think I
have found a new spot to hang it, and may be able to get it up to about
50 - 60 feet, so hopefully if the weather is good I'll get it up tonight
and we can see what happens. (Provided I didnt screw something up royally )
Thanks for all your help
