[TowerTalk] Need manual for EF-180S

[john at kk9a.com]

The taper schedule for will be completely different for wire than the  
Ø2" or so diameter tubing used in the Force12 dipole that you wish to  
copy so it will have to be remodeled. While you're modeling, you  
should check your tower's interaction.  FWIW, if you really want a  
wire 80m vertical next to your tower you can make it C shaped and not  
need the valuable loading coils that you think you have.

Anyone have a manual for one of the Force 12 80M rotatable dipoles?    
Like the EF-180S or similar ?  I want the one with loading coils not  
the linear loaded version.
I am thinking about duplicating one using antenna wire and I think I  
have the Force 12 loading coils already.   I am thinking about hanging  
it from the side of my tower
to see how it performs as a vertical dipole.

thanks,
