Comments:
Wind and deer damaged the tree lofted 160M wire antenna that was fixed this last
summer. The recent damage rendered it unusable with not enough time to repair.
The deer also damaged the 80M full wave loop by pulling and ripping off the
original feed that was connected to a point high up in the unreachable part of
the trees (it was a vertically polarized loop). What's left of the antenna now
resembles a giant letter C -- kind of like a double-L. So fed lower part of the
C with a 64:1 end fed transformer. Added a few meters of extra wire between the
transformer and the lower part of the C to bring the antenna to resonance on
160M.
