Right, Moose. Paul, it works for 7-28 MHz as an inverted vee, and also
on 3.5 MHz with the feedline shorted together so it works as a short
vertical with a capacitive top hat. Each leg is 82 feet long. To
paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, each leg is long enough to not quite reach
the ground.
It's fed with foam-insulated outdoor 300 ohm twinlead rather than coax,
so with a manual tuner, I can resonate the system to many bands. I like
the 300 ohm twinlead becase it doesn't break as easily as ladder line,
is easier to get into the house, and works better on the high bands.

it this weekend. It works.
