Why didn't ypu use a 15 or 17 m dipole and get away from the impedance
extremes?


The impedance extremes don't bother me. A 50 ohm antenna gives an SWR of
9:1 with 450 ohm ladder-line. An 4050 ohm antenna gives an SWR of 9:1
with 450 ohm ladder-line. The impedance at a current maximum point is
the same 50 ohms for both of those antennas.
