I have just moved to a new QTH this past summer and it is too late into our
season to reinstall my crank up towers. The new QTH has a couple of rather
large tall trees and being an electrician, and different gauges of wire
being in abundant supply -- building the cage out of 10 ga. or 12 ga. THHN
insulated wire other than maybe changing the length of the antenna
somewhat -- any other pitfalls that someone could elaborate for me would be
very helpful. The other thing -- studying the antenna book -- it appears
that all you are doing is basically soldering the four wires in parallel and
then just adding a one-to-one coax balun at one end. I understand that it
would be somewhat heavy but again, it only has to last the winter and I
could get it up about 75 or 80 feet off the ground. I appreciate any
advice. Thanks in advance. Gene K2QWD
