Jim,
That OCF sounds interesting, and I'm also in a restricted
neighborhood, but what is a '1/2 wavelength of coax' for an antenna
that covers 80 thru 10 meters?

40M
off center fed dipole I have stapled to the "ridgepole" in my garden home. I
mounted a 4:1 balun at the feed point and fed it with 1/2 wavelength of
coax. It works 80 thru 10 meters and is easily tuned with my KAT100 to 1:1
on 40 thru 10 and 1.2:1 on 80M.
Moving from band to band changes the radiation pattern and on 20M, it
has a
pipeline into Europe and the Middle East. Made some nice contacts on the K2
alone, I very seldom QRO up to the big gun, the KPA100.
