TT's

Haven't been able to come up with single wire to operate 160/80/75/40. Been
feeding 450 ohm ladder line to a vee'd dipole  (68 ft at apex) on 160.
Can't find a sweet spot for all 3 bands.  Different lenghts will bring about
2 good tuneable bands but one always lacks. I am wanting to use this antenna
for DX contests.

Any ideas?  What are other Single Wire contesters using?  And what tuner are
you using.

Tnx
