Ok, I got my new antenna constructed:

Its a 119 foot dipole with a 64 (?) foot 40 meter element spaced 6 
inches down.  I built a PVC center insulator with the connections to the 
dipole enclosed, and put a 8 turn choke just below the feed.  I think I 
have found a new spot to hang it, and may be able to get it up to about 
50 - 60 feet, so hopefully if the weather is good I'll get it up tonight 
and we can see what happens.  (Provided I didnt screw something up royally )

Thanks for all your help
