Recently got back into radio after 15 year absence..... Have a
question for you antenna gurus. I want to put up a 135 foot doublet.
Question is: Does it need to be supported in the middle? The layout of
my property has no support for the middle of the antenna.


Actually, the two end supports which tend to make the
antenna horizontal are more useful than a single
center support for an inv-V. Short answer is "no", you
don't need a center support.
