[TowerTalk] Dipole for 80m at 450 ft

[Milan Dlabač - Nibe Heating]

Dear oms,
first of all merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all of You.Now the problem.We have oportunity to utilize 450 ft high previous BC tower.We already put the 4SQR of full size dipoles for 160m, which works as we expected.We were in the 160m contest as ol5k.Now we must decide, what to do for 80m band.Because of huge cross section we dont believe, that other 4SQR would work properly.I was thinking about very high dipole.I thought to put up two dipoles, one at 450 ft for Pacific and Afrika  and other at the right angle at 400 ft to East- West , because of coupling.Dipoles will be shortened to 80 ft and will be from AL tubes.We canot make a normal Inv Vee.What is Your point of view?The praktical experience and compare with vertical antenas  will be highly appreciated.Thanks for help, see you in the contest in January 2007.
