Greetings!

        I am getting ready to put up my W9INN 40/80/160 dipole. I would like
to mount it in the horizontal configuration, at the 85ft level off of my
tower. The problem is that I only have ONE suitable tall end-support at that
height! So my question is:  Do I go ahead and support only ONE leg in the
horizontal configuration and let the other leg droop to about 30ft, in the
Inverted-vee fashion OR should I put BOTH legs into the Inverted-vee
fashion??? My primary consideration would be DX.

        Thanks, in advance. Love this reflector!!

73 & DX!
