[TenTec] Zepp?

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Don, you put me on the spot here.
I have never tried a 44' OCFD.
I have tried both the 66' and 132' OCFD fed at that split, fed with open
wire, but not the 44'.
I don't like to comment on things that I have not actually tried myself.

I like the 44ft doublet idea.
But I would like to try the OCF method mentioned by Rick DJ0IP.
Sounds like for a 44 ft OCF antenna the feed point would be 19ft/25ft. 
Correct?
Hoping I can get 10M to play better and would like better efficiency as
compared to a 34 doublet on 30M.
73, Don
