You should be looking at the K1AR CQWW CW contest results over the past
10+ years.
I believe that John has nothing more than a center-fed dipole, fed with
open-wire, and using a real Johnson antenna tuner. His is up
considerably higher - 80' or so ? No towers, no wire beams.

How could this be made into an excellent 20m antenna? It will have very deep
nulls (30dB+) and super high SWR, plus likely high feedline loss. A 32'
dipole would be a better antenna.

Hi steve
To answer your questions
My antenna was a 125 ft dipole up 40 ft
Fed and tuned how ? How high are the ends ?
Done right, this can be an excellent antenna. Done wrong, this makes a poor
dummy load.
