Navigate to 37.077940° N, -122.141780° W. The larger building is my 
house, the smaller one, more or less under the lat/lon marker, is my 
shack. Look to the SW about 70 ft for a line running diagonally. That's 
my 80/40 fan dipole that's broadside to JA and SA. The 80M element is 
#10 THHN, the 40 M element is #12 THHN. The dots are spacers, made from 
1/2-in PVC conduit, and they are approximately vertical. Look just N of 
the house. That's the boom of my 3-el SteppIR. Look about 450 ft west 
from the marker -- those are power lines running diagonally, my property 
line is just to the SW. And you can see a solar array that drives me 
nuts on the higher bands during the summer daylight hours, especially 6M.
