I have a 68' Rohn 25 foldover which I've had up since 1970. The first antenna was a TH6DXX which was replaced by a KT34XA in 1981 and has been up ever since. I've had no problems with the tower and

I have dipoles for 80/75, 40, 30, 17, and 12 working on one feedline. Actually, it is an inverted vee, with the center at 65' and the ends of the 80M wires at about 30'. The antenna started out as th
