I have 135 feet between my two towers and might put two dipoles or double
bazookas between them, end to end using one rope. I would drop the feed lines
straight down to the ground. Probably one would be 40 meters and the other 30
meters since I don’t have antennas for those bands up yet and I need a quick
job to start working the rash of DXpeditions now that I miss on those two
bands. The two antennas take up about 105-117 feet or so horizontally so I
would have 13-30 feet of rope to distribute between the middle and the two ends.
Is there any interaction between the two wire antennas put end to end? Does
it matter how close they are to each other?
I would use 1:1 baluns for each so there would be some weight up there and a
catenary curve to all of it.
Since my towers are in line at 305 degrees towards Japan, the wire antennas
would face EU and ZL-VK land.
Any thoughts on this?
