OK,
It is OK now but WHY? Everything I learned,studied and observed on line and
in commercial antennas this size says that 45-50 should have been the
correct length. Now I am at between 60-65 feet. Is it my surroundings? The
actual attributes of my 14 gauge THHN wire? Are my spreaders not what they
should be?
I will let this thread die now- thank you all very much for your generous
efforts on my behalf.
