      Okay. I've got a 100 foot tower. Would I be better off with sloping
dipoles (feedpoints at 60-70 feet but a straight dipole) or an inverted vee
with the feedpoint at 100 feet? Input appreciated. I'm ignoring the
application/path (dx or domestic) and am just looking at
efficiency/effectiveness.
