I second this idea, I ran it in Fl for over 20 years all bands 80-10M
and occasionally on 6. Some very sharp lobs on the higher bands. My
ends equaled a twenty meter 1/4 wave. I am now running a 80M dipole
horz at 60 feet on all bands 80-6. Got the number #176 TPA using only
100w and that specific antenna. The secret is in the ground system and
the tuner. A good 1:1 balum is a must.
