[TowerTalk] 40/80m dipole

[Dan]

I should have mentioned that the 40/80 antenna for my son will be almost 
vertical. He has a single pulley in a tall tree to suspend the antenna. 
I agree that the fan dipole or bent full size dipoles would be good 
solutions but a single 2 band dipole is better suited to his needs.
Thanks for all the comments. I was hoping to get an inductance value and 
location in a 90 ft dipole. Antennas of this type are widely available 
from suppliers but it is more fun to build it and he will be visiting in 
a week or so. It makes a nice educational project.  I do have an 
instrument to measure inductance at those frequencies.
73, Dan
