That'll work well for DX, not so well for close-in work out to about
200 miles or so on 80/75/40. For that you need a NVIS antenna.
He seems to have enough options so that he can install both.
By the way, what is Phillystran?

An interesting substitute for "Phillystran" is the old "all plastic and glass" fibre optic
cable used for some networked computer installations. The strength member
is usually Kevlar. Good insulation and high strength.
