[TowerTalk] New Member - Need help with an antenna design

[Tim Holmes <W8TAH@Zoominternet.net>]

Hi Folks 

I'm trying to put some work into my antenna system before winter really 
gets going, and I am looking to redsign my multi-band dipole.  I am 
strongly considering a fan type dipole cut for the center of the General 
band on 80, 40, 20, 15, 10.  I use and IC706MKIIG, and have LDG AT11mp 
(I think) auto tuner. 

The antenna will be hung roughtly north south at about 30 feet, and will 
have a 20 degree dogleg to the west in the north half.

I realize that a dipole is nowhere as good as a beam etc, but I cant put 
up a beam, and I can put up a dipole, so I need some suggestions, or 
links to plans etc.

Thanks for your time
