[TowerTalk] 80m dipole question

[Travis Fitzgerald - VE3WO]

Hello Towertalkers -

Just wanted to drop a note to say Thanks+40dB for all of the responses to my
query.  The dipole is up, with the end of the house leg dropping vertically
for about 4 feet (my estimate was off a bit).  SWR is acceptable and I now
appear to have a working 80m cloudwarmer in time for CQWW next weekend.

Sincere thanks to all of those who replied to help me out of my jam.  Great
bunch of guys!  Good luck next weekend.

73, Travis VE3WO

Gee, a theoretical .2db...that theoretically could amount to how many
missed contacts - .001, haha

Maybe, but EZNEC shows the difference between his two arrangements to be

about .2 db at most!

True ofcourse, but every dB counts, atleast in my book.
If I don´t have to give away dB´s I´m not going to either.
