- Otherwise, I would have put the whole thing up high,
- or possibly sloped with the unun end down.

Better would be to have the Feed-in-Line running
4"~6" below the Ground directly under the Wire
Antenna Element all the way out to the UnUn and
Ground Rod; with the Antenna Element Sloping-Up
back over the 'lay' of the Feed-in-Line.

Why is the alignment important?


I was playing along but wondered the same thing.
