[TowerTalk] 40 meter vertical ant

[Tom Osborne]

Hi Jerry

Well, I have one tree.  It is about 80-90 feet high.  Right now I have an 80 
meter inverted V and a 160 meter inverted L hanging on it.  I have some 
other shorter trees, 40-50 feet, around here that I could hang a dipole in, 
but that's really not all that high on 40.   73
