Rick (NJ0IP / DJ0IP),
How did you deal with bringing the feedline away perpendicular to the vertical
dipole? I have many tall trees, but routing a high feedline perpendicular to
the VD is quite a challenge.

The first choice is, should it be monoband or multiband?
If multiband, I personally would only run with a VD. I hate traps (break,
lossy, collect water) and I am to lazy to put a lot of radials down.
If monoband, anything will work, as long as it is built well, following the
multitude of excellent tips we have read on this thread.
On the one hand, I hate to have to tune a matchbox, and my shortened VD will
always require a matchbox.
I purchased a 1000 Watt Palstar automatic tuner, but haven't tried it yet.
Maybe that's the solution I've been looking for.
