[TowerTalk] Boom Dipole for 80m?

[Barry Kirkwood]

Fine, Tom.
I was talking from the point of view of us little guys with, say 24ft booms
and 20m elements.
The way I was thinking, a couple of 20ft extensions off the ends of the boom
would give a span of about 60 ft, but it could be that these ends would not
add much to the loading already provided by the yagi elements.
Any ideas?
