My 2 cents worth is: Theory is one thing and actuality is another thing.
I use a 130 ft
Hey George you said it right!! I have been reading all the
email about what will work and won't. The best antenna I
ever haad was the 130 ft Vee feeding it with 450 ohm ladder
line. Now don't laugh, the length of the feedline was
whatever it took from the center of the VEE to my shack!
Then I
I can see Spock saying, in his confused expression, That is not
logical.
Why would one want a antenna that keeps falling ??

Perhaps as Dr. McCoy would say Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor not an engineer.

My 2 cents worth is: Theory is one thing and actuality is another thing. I
use a 130 ft inverted vee, fed with about 55 ft of 450 ohm ladder line. The
apex of the vee is about 65 ft up. The ladder line stops at the eave of my
house, just outside the shack, where I use a 4:1 balun. From
or at least get very hot. Why throw
the power away?

From the balun to the homebrew tuner, I use a 7 or 8 ft

I guess the moral to this is, don't let theory stop you from trying stuff.
I would like to add what I firmly believe is the ONLY absolutely true law of
physics when it comes to antennas. I learned it in the mid-50's and it is
just as true today...
If it stays up, it ain't big
