[TowerTalk] Wire Antenna Suggestions Wanted

[w4lde]

I second this idea, I ran it in Fl for over 20 years all bands 80-10M 
and occasionally on 6.  Some very sharp lobs on the higher bands.  My 
ends equaled a twenty meter 1/4 wave.  I am now running a 80M dipole 
horz at 60 feet on all bands 80-6.  Got the number #176 TPA using only 
100w and that specific antenna.  The secret is in the ground system and 
the tuner.  A good 1:1 balum is a must.
