Re: [TowerTalk] "75-Meter Dipole Stretcher"

[Bryan Swadener via TowerTalk <towertalk@contesting.com>]

What I like about it is, with a 80m 4-wire cage inverted vee, 
I don't need to use a tuner. I can QSY with one hand, 
immediately start operating... and not have to set my beer down. :-D 
 
I later removed the CM choke at the apex, added a vacuum relay in the line 
(powered via a bias tee), and can drive it against ground on 160m:

What is amazing is those using webbed "ladder line".  I've seen it 
wrapped around fence posts.  It's a good dummy load when old and wet.

Transmission line transformers are my friend when needed.
