Good afternoon all...and a good one it is. 
I won't bore y'all with the fine details, but will say that here are the 
final results: 
Vert lgth: 55 ft 
Total lgth: 137.5 ft 
C-P wires (4 @ 9' high): 135 ft long 
Shunt capacitor: 3 ea 500uuf doorknobs - 1500uuf total 
                          Variable cap. not needed 
2:1 SWR points: 1.800 mhz/1.841mhz 
               Min. SWR at 1.820 - 1.3:1 
TS-440S, boatanchors and me are happy. 
Lesson learned: what works for other folks ain't necessarily 
gonna work for me. 
  
Thanks to all for the comments, suggestions, etc. 
What a great group here on the Topband list.
