I want to thank everyone for all the emails and follow-up posts to my
question yesterday. I received 27 emails so please forgive me for responding
here rather than answering them individually ;-)
Well the sloper idea is out - I can't risk the unpredictable performance
with the limited amount of time available to use the tower. A lot of folks
suggested an inverted L. Unfortunately, I can't "clutter up" (their words,
not mine) the surrounding area with radials. I would also be concerned of
what effect such a large metallic mass would have on the vertical section of
the antenna.
So I'm going to put up an inverted V with the apex at 90' extended out 10'
from the tower on a 2x4. Later I can ponder other possibilities. I'm sorry I
waited till the last minute to even consider this location.
Thanks again for all the info. 73,
