I was thinking about putting up bobtail curtain for 40m out in my backyard.
The problemis there are no trees anywhere near that can be used to support
wire.  If I were to put up three aluminum verticals, I could do it.  Anyone
done this? If so, how much did you have to adjust lengths?  Is it worth
the trouble?  I have had decent luck with just a fullsized groundplane on 
40m up 20ft or so.
