[TowerTalk] 40m rotatable Dipole - Anyone got plans?

[kk9a at arrl.net]

I think the KT-34A has a 16' boom and insulated elements so just loading the
boom would be a poor antenna.    I think he's looking for actual plans on
how to build a rotatable 40m dipole.  The ARRL antenna book shows a taper
schedule for a full size 40m element.  You can also use shorter and lighter
elements if you split the element with a fiberglass insulator and install a
coil or linear loading.

Consider Gamma matching the boom of the KT 34.
