Topband: K9AY - question

[Eduardo Araujo]

Hi everybody, I would like to try K9AY antenna for this CQWW mainly for 160 but after the contest I hope it to be usefull for 160 and 80.

Q1: would it be possible to use a tree as a central support without affecting its performance? or would it be better to hang a rope between 2 trees and hang the antenna from it ?

Q2: Should I optimize the resistor for 160 and replace it for both band usage...isn't it ?

Many thanks in advance.... Eddy, LU2DKT
