I should have mentioned that the 40/80 antenna for my son will be almost
vertical. He has a single pulley in a tall tree to suspend the antenna.
I agree that the fan dipole or bent full size dipoles would be good
solutions but a single 2 band dipole is better suited to his needs.
Thanks for all the comments. I was hoping to get an inductance value and
location in a 90 ft dipole. Antennas of this type are widely available
from suppliers but it is more fun to build it and he will be visiting in
a week or so. It makes a nice educational project. I do have an
instrument to measure inductance at those frequencies.
