I simply didn't want to deal with any 'VSWR' issues from a dipole configuration.
So, a simple end fed wire meets my needs.

How did you manage to find this arrangement? trial & error? by accident?
I keep trying different things but maybe I am "thinking" too much, maybe its
simpler than what I am trying to do.

Mine seems to work fine with about 25 feet of wire simply run out the

house.

I use an Timewave ANC-4 to reduce noise on the low bands at my location.
On 40 & 160 meters I can reduce the noise almost to S1, but on 75 meters
I can only reduce it to S4-5.
I use a noise sense antenna which is a dipole 4ft on each side about 4
inches off the ground and parallel to the power and telephone lines.
Anyone have one of these units and having any ideas I might try to reduce
75 meters to a lower S-meter reading?

All my low band antennas are verticals.
