I ran mine in 2006, right after moving in. I ran ladder line for the DX 
Engineering reversible system. Gets me VK/ZL in addition to EU. Have a 
second for SA/AS. Glad I did -- at 84, can't get to the ends of either, 
but get help from neighbor hams. They're running through a dense redwood 
forest, irregular terrain +/- 20 ft, just enough brush to serve as 
vertical supports. Maintenance is required several times a year after 
storms drop branches and/or trees on them.
