With woods all around, why not put up a multi-band dipole?

That was my first choice. I am not strong on antenna theory, so I and afraid to
build one. I was looking at a Alpha Delta DX-CC, but they have been on backorder
sonce March. I emailed them 3 weeks ago, and they said 7-10 days. I emailed them
again today, and they said 2 weeks. I liked that antenna because of the coax
feed. I was trying to sta away from the other dipole that use ladder line.

A 130 ft. dipole fed with 450 ohm ladder-line through a good
choke is hard to beat as an all-HF-band antenna and costs
about $25.


I have to do a inverted V config. I would be unable to run it horizontal. Can I
build one using simply a coax feed?
