<< Here is the best small lot antenna system:
70 ft crank up tower
TH-7 at top
Cush 40-2CD 12 to 15 feet above that.
one sloper at 66 ft. fed at top for 75 meters and slopering down at 45
degrees.
One trap half-length 160 meter dipole inverted V off the tower.

This is close to my formula, which I am in the process of completing. I have
a Tri-Ex LM470E which will have a KT-34XA and a KLM 3 el 40M, turned by a
T2X. Will probably do a sloper for 80 and maybe a half sloper for 160, at
least to start. May do a Force12 EF180? for 80m later. Considering the short
one since I only have 33 feet of turning radius without hanging over my
neighbor's yard. Hope to have this all up by the spring.
